Prairie Homestead, Historical sod house near Interior, United States.
The Prairie Homestead features an original sod structure constructed with dirt bricks and topped with a grass roof in the South Dakota plains.
Ed Brown and his wife built this homestead in 1909 during the final settlement period of western South Dakota, marking a key moment in regional development.
The property demonstrates construction methods of early settlers, with soil-based building techniques that adapted to the limited resources of the Great Plains.
Located at 21070 South Dakota Highway 240, the site provides guided tours of the house, farm structures, and grounds where prairie dogs maintain their colony.
This residence stands as one of the last complete sod houses in South Dakota, preserving the authentic living conditions of early 20th-century homesteaders.
