Thank you for your research & great videos. Always mind blowing. And heartbreaking that those beautiful buildings were destroyed. Thankfully they left some. There is DEFINITELY more to the story.
So many buildings of these buildings were built on a ground that was lower than the actual ground level. It is a clear sign that these buildings were built way earlier than we are told. The music in the background opens my heart chakra!
Actually, much of the original street level of these original stone buildings sit one story underground. The streets were raised due to periodic flooding from the river. The timbers in the buildings were brought in on the railroads from Wisconsin and Minnesota forests.
@@indivisibleman8596 I'm not sure they are sitting any different than today in the cases where he is showing buildings I recognize, they are exactly how they are now even 100 years ago. 100 years is not that long ago.
I live here. Many of our big old buildings are made by the Freemasons and at the falls you can see the remains from the fire that happened at the fire mill. It was so big it could be seen across the state. Only 1 image exists of the fire. The palisades park and pink quartzite is very resistant to wear, and the land is ancient. The rock is the second oldest on earth aside from the Himalayans (this region was a vast seascape for millions of years) so they have been deep under the earth. Very cool place with an awesome history. Lota of skilled work and downtown is booming.
You ask the best question who is doing this in 1890?. We're going to figure this out soon.... I've been trying to follow the paper trail at the library of Congress for building permits. Some building show up but many do not. I don't know about this one though
Born and raised in sioux falls. The buildings were stone because of the quarry in sioux falls. The quarry is still there and is located near the fairgrounds. Building boomed not because of people who lived in sioux falls but who visited in between stops on the railroad. The falls don't look like they do in those old photos due to drought. That's why the mill operations was a bad idea because the flow of the falls changes every year depending on how much rain and snow we get. Much of early sioux falls was funded and planned by R.F Pettigrew who's home is now a museum. Fun fact that old firehouse is the last one in Sioux Falls to have a fire pole. Teddy roosevelt gave a speech outside of it. I'm not sure what you mean by "the narrative". Please elaborate on that. Railroad bring a huge business boom not necessarily a boom in population. Another great building in the State Theater it's been restored and is really really neat!
The 'narrative' is what history tells us. That's what I'm questioning here on this channel. Anyone can recite with history tells us. Who will question what history tells us?
@@oldworldex Okay, but how is it that one person doing "research" making a bunch of presumptions and assumptions is worth listening to compared to people that have devoted their lives to discovering real historic evidence of the past to piece it together?
But why anyone should listen to someone who clearly hasn't read a single book about history spending half a day looking at old photos and making wild assumptions based on nothing other than a general anti-intellectualism perspective is beyond me. Especially when you consider the thousands of historians through time who have devoted their entire lives to the discipline.

Thanks so much! South Dakota's topography is interesting. Half the state is FLAT, the other half is mountainous. Driving it seems like no-man's land. These buildings are even on that terrain. Everyone that presents anything that questions the mainstream narrative is a target these days. The trolls seem to be ramping it up. Sometimes it's just people that cannot handle that notion that we've been lied to about everything. Nice work. Again, thanks.
I live in Sioux falls and u know ancient aliens when they said India has nuclear weapons evidence. It seems like falls Park had a sub dropped on it way back. I dnt think nukes still exist
South Dakota is mostly flat. The mountainous area is only in the very western part of the state. Drive I-90 …. There really isn’t much between Sioux Falls and rapid city. The further west you travel the less populated areas you will find. Until you get to the rapid city area.
6:15 Only 2000 residents and yet a full complement of perfectly gridded streets. I want someone to sit me down and explain how "settlers" had the wherewithal to designate town and city centers and perfectly delineate insanely wide roads to carry several lanes of a variety of "future traffic." I know if I was dumped off in a horse and buggy, my pathways would be rudimentary horse and buggy trails of least resistance, especially with calories expended in mind.
@@kathygustafson7994 exactly, it was the developers who planned these features for a future city into tiny railroad boom towns. Huron to the north west of Sioux Falls was planned as a state capitol with grounds for various capital buildings and a large multi lane road through the center of it -- it didn't become the capital, and those are just parks now.
Thank you for your video!!! I'm surprised that there's no building supplies buildings! No construction company buildings! No architectural company buildings! No factories producing anything! No construction photos!
In addition to the labor and materials required, also consider the costs of construction. Urban development requires a supporting economy to fund these construction projects. Question the source of investment; how much disposable income could these farmers and simple tradesmen have to deposit in bank accounts. Where did the money come from to fund these construction projects?
@@robertperry4439 mostly from investments not farmers. In the 1880s Sioux falls was visited by many many thousands of people looking to get an easy divorce. Was known as divorce capital of the nation for that decade. Also built with government money because of the fort and reservation in town.

They all smell like old old old the smell is so strong. I have deviated septum with near total loss of many spectrums of scent that smell shouldn't register it's dont anywhere but these buildings and from the inside it's obvious they are bulky built for nephilim
U right about that not enough builders these were going up around texas at the same time. Who was digging the 500 to 800 ft deep sewage and water in the major cities. They werent building in Sioux Falls. They barely had enough men to dig these out. Same uncut stone on the courthouse in Goliad Tx. 1894
Lawrence,, Kansas is comprised of IDENTICAL architecture. There must have been Prefabricated Kit Buildings that could be ordered from Sears and Roebuck or similar Enterprise when ever these were erected, mirroring many other Kansas municipalities such as Paola,. Iola, Chanutte, Pratt, Pittsburgh, La Compton, Baldwin etc. The same is characteristic of frontier communities throughout Texas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Missouri Wyoming Indiana, Illinois Kentucky, Tennessee. Compare, Missoula Montana to Sioux Falls, for a random example of these cookie cutter paint by number architectures.
For those wondering it's called Sioux quartz (out Rose quartz) I live here. There are dozens of quarries near by should falls. All of the Stone block came out of these quarries.
3:30..."there wasn't enough wheat"....what? Why wasn't there enough wheat? They built this mill not knowing how or where to get the wheat? But all the sudden there's not enough? Yeah, sure.
Many people make bad investments in our day and age, but there was no way someone could make a bad investment in the 1800s? And as a person who lives in this city, the falls run nearly dry when we have drought. We have droughts pretty frequently, so yes, the water was inconsistent.
Has anyone ever addressed the question of who FUNDED these massive construction projects? The Main-Stream history (made-up stories!) don't seem to mention this... 🤔🤭
24:53 - this building is said to date from 1909, and indeed has an Arts and Crafts style - but it is kind of remarkable for a settlement of 10,000 people...
I suppose flour mills needed brick/stone walls a few feet thick and several stories high with windows to blow the wheat and flour around in gusty drafts off the waterfalls. But, yeah, there was no wheat, they say? This storyline makes zero sense and the further the we all dig the more nonsensical it seems. Thanks for this one. It was a real shocker, population wise!
Watching this in a home built in 1919 on S. Phillips Ave. it’s such a beautiful city and thankfully many historic buildings remain. Side story - I was cleaning a few days ago and found an old thread spool behind the radiator. I meant to keep it but the label and thread quickly disintegrated as I handled it leaving only the wood spool.
Just so you know, I was having trouble leaving a comment. Could’ve been my own technical difficulties, but there was no place to leave a comment. But other than that, excellent show and beautiful pictures.
Did I mention my town My grandpa used to own the building that says IOOF from 100 years, minimum. The side door says odd fellows. I could show you tomorrow
It's difficult to find information on it, but around 1890, a Company named John Morrell moved to town. Without the slaughterhouse in town, its population would not have exploded around the turn of the century. Worth looking into. I learned some of the plant's history while I worked there.
@@peachyokay4595 Sioux Falls also had the Option to have the State University instead of the State Penitentiary, so you gotta take those small victories into account. Lol
What I personally did with a lot of what they said existed in the past was. I looked up the tools they have available. Like these old buildings. Every single block and brick are perfect. Meaning. 100% of them are cut to match the others perfectly. Leads to. What tools did they have to do such tasks. The only conclusion I could possibly come up with is. Cement molds. I would love to see one of those blocks cut in half. Just like old maps. Some dating over 1,000 years old. Every single line is perfect. All done from a satellite point of view. Yet. They only had two feet. A horse. A wooden ship. A feather as a pen. Sure. Some old maps have thousands of lines. Thanks for sharing.
@ODMagicMike Boy, you're dumb. Question. Why are you watching this channel? You're not the first one that has Saud this to me. I lost count after a few thousand people who said the exact same thing. My personal research started in 2012. With talking to the Elites. How about yourself? That was on Twitter. 2014 TH-cam. On every subject. Down every rabbit hole. You're extremely far behind all the rest.
Nice video. I worked at the veterans hospital for 17 years. The original blue prints for that building were designed by John J Rockefeller and Omar Bradley in 1946 or 1947. If you look at the video at 18:24 minutes, is the photo of the VA. The main building (hospital) is on the left of the photo, and the smaller building on the right is the same building you show at time stamp 24:48, just a different angle. This was built in 1920. The photo we had there they were just putting on the roof of the north wing in May of 1920.
thanks for your work here ,lovn it long time . bricklayer 30+ years only come across two others in my time interested in doing nice work that could do efficiently, the head builder never wants extra expense. maybe i just like art n being arty, would love opps to build even freestyle nice work
There was no mention of the pioneer monument in Sioux falls. A very interesting shape and design that can be seen in various places around the world. Then there's the Sergeant Floyd monument near Sioux City....I am curious if these two monuments follow the lay lines. I'm sure there is a geographical significance of the two, but I haven't put it together yet. This was a well done video. I live near Sioux falls and have marvelled at the stone buildings that still stand. Very interesting to see when they were supposedly constructed.
what do u mean what happened here? There has been fires that is what happened to the hotel that was twice built and some of the buildings not sure of exce[t the ones that are still in Historic Downtown area
The clay brick probably originated from Sioux City, where they also had an ironworks. The John Morrell plant buildings were began in 1909. They are still using the original state prison buildings. The Mckennan hospital building is the original one, still in use on the Avera Mckennan hospital main campus. The post office made of stone in your slide is serving as the Federal Courthouse. The Library, is the City Hall now, where they hold the weekly meetings, it was originally part of the Carnegie Library system.
Time stamp 22 : 52 , That is actually Stucco , they put it over brick structures and you are right , over time the heat and weathering breaks down and the original bricks start to show through.
I'm not expecting some kind of prize for this but I was born, raised, and am still living in Sioux Falls. Quartzite is almost always mentioned in connection to Sioux Falls. It's a very dense rock. It started being quarried early in the cities history and still is today. See L. G. Everist Inc. East Sioux Falls was a quarry town and possibly the reason for the trolley, to bring people from E. Sioux Falls to downtown. I've seen people mention Scottish and Italian quarry workers or masons being brought in. I thought they were Welsh but some combination is also possible. Part of the Sioux Falls experience is getting stuck waiting for an L. G. Everist train to pass. I can't really speak to when all of the old buildings were built or why no growth took place in the 1890's, if that is what happened. People would come here to divorce and spend some time in the city while waiting for it to go through, probably didn't stick around any longer than they needed to though. If you've been here in winter you will know why. The Cataract hotel has the divorce industry to thank for it's former existence. Something that as an old person I pine away for is that Sioux City used to be a rival. The high school teams played each other and taking a trip to Sioux City as a teen was a right of passage. Insurance is blamed for that no longer happening, something about the companies that insure schools not wanting to deal with separate state laws. I don't know if people much younger than I am would have even the faintest idea that Sioux City was the big bad other to us.
Thomas L fawick: out of sioux Falls SD, at the age of 17 he was the first inventor of a two cylinder automobile with 4 doors! he produced the nations first four door automobile with a right handed drive with a four cylinder three speed transmaision. only vehicle ever made in sioux Falls. He ended up becoming a millionare and fled town but gave money to our local Colleges here in town Augustana Univeristy. 1889-1978 there is a lot of miss guided information on Sioux Falls yes we had a verry small populated town. verry small. however we had people coming across all directions looking for work. most would work for a few weeks then skip town and head towards Omaha NE or towards the cities Minneapolis
Melted red brick at the start “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.” (2 Peter 3:10) “Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?” (2 Peter 3:12) “The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.” (Psalm 97:5) “The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.” (Psalms 46:6) “For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.” (Malachi 4:1) “And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.” (Isaiah 1:31) “Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.” (Isaiah 24:6) “Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.” (Isaiah 47:14) “As they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it; so will I gather you in mine anger and in my fury, and I will leave you there, and melt you.” (Ezekiel 22:20) “Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst therof.” (Ezekiel 22:21) “As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the LORD have poured out my fury upon you.” (Ezekiel 22:22) “And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down a steep place.” (Micah 1:4) “Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.” (Amos 9:13) Luke 3:16-17 16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire: 17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable. “The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.” (Revelation 8:7)
The Sioux Quartzite stone is very accessible in the area. Love visiting when I can. Was actually considering moving my business down there but revitalizing an old building in my hometown. It's a shame these building practices weren't passed down, which I'm sure they would've without the dramatic advance in modern building materials and efficiencies.
In addition to the labor and materials required, also consider the costs of construction. Urban development requires a supporting economy to fund these construction projects. Question the source of investment; how much disposable income could these farmers and simple tradesmen have to deposit in bank accounts. Where did the money come from to fund these construction projects?
Sioux Falls quartzite is the pink stone we see all over old Sioux Falls. In the basement of the old courthouse, there are boulders that were left as is!
It is soo crazy that u are doing Sioux Falls, because it is relevant or hits very close to home & I live in Alabama….lol 😂 Yea the GOAT football coach in my state just retired & Alabama hired a coach that coached for Sioux Falls. Didn’t know anything about that place, never heard of it. Love your videos as always, but this was very informative, considering, I was a long time Bama fan lol 😂
The FDR monument in Washington D.C. is built with stone from the quarry in Dell Rapids SD, just a few miles north of Sioux Falls. The same stone was used in most of Downtown Sioux Falls
My first roommate in college was from Sioux Falls. Wish I would have gone home with her and explored but of course back then narrative was blindly accepted. Ty for another gem.
I grew up in the Sioux Falls area. My mother, being a historian, told me about "East Sioux Falls." Irish immigrants, living near the quarries in a town they called Ives. They mined and formed the stone that built the beautiful structures in the city! The stones were also made into bricks and were sent to other large cities. (Chicago) 6th St Sioux falls still has 1 block of original cobblestone. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Sioux_Falls,_South_Dakota
Wow, I've lived here in Sioux Falls since late 1969 and I had never considered some of these mysteries about my own town but I do remember having conversation with people in the late seventies about the idiocy of the governments "urban renewal" program back in the day that ended tearing down all these ppl perfectly good beautiful buildings and putting up brand new ugly modern ones in their place! I guess now that they were trying to hide something! By the way that beautiful Episcopalian church you showed was where I got married in 1999
There may not have been a lot of growth but there was plenty of optimism. My hometown of Brookings established the land grant college eight years before statehood.
In 1974, my family spent the night in the famous Sioux Falls Train Motel. The world was so innocent then. Now I see it as a soul trap prison planet. Thankfully, the gates are now open and we can leave.
Ooookaaaay.....first question, if there were NO trees (supposedly), where did they get all the wood from to build the original wood framed buildings and why would they squander precious resources creating 8ft wide wooden walkways? Surely, if all the wood has to be shipped in, whether by horse and cart or railroad (yet to be built) wouldn't it make more sense to make the walkways out of stone, they must have found some there? Second question, if there were no trees, how did they fire the copious amount of bricks required just for the mill, why make it 8 storeys tall and why not assess the river first before going to all the trouble of building an 8 storey building only to burn it down 2 years later? Third question, how did we all believe this narrative for so long?
The wood was brought in by rail. I grew up in a home in SD built ca. 1900 that was ordered as a kit from Sears and Roebuck. These home kits were very popular and became very common on the prairie. The Queen Bee Mill and most of the other historical brick structures in Sioux Falls are not made from fired bricks; they are made from cut stone bricks. Exposed stone at the falls themselves was quarried, and there are Sioux Quartzite quarries in the area to this day.
@@JakeGryphon Did you read all my comment? Also have you looked at the walls remaining of the mill, they are huge, at least 2 rows deep and it was 8 storeys tall, even if cut stone, that is a lot of work for just 2 years, surely any water source would have been well researched before all the vast quantities of stone were cut. Either they had limitless amounts of money/time or they weren't very bright and wasted a large amount of time cutting vast quantities of stone for a mill that was to be used for just 2 years. Then there's the wooden sidewalks, why waste all that lumber which had to be shipped in, whether by rail or cart, it doesn't matter, it still needs to be transported a distance and yet they had a quarry nearby where they cut all that stone, yet they couldn't cut enough for a walkway. Wood rots, especially wood laid on a dirt surface, it makes no sense and people weren't stupid back then, they were no different from us, yet there's many anomalous things which don't add up.
@@kateemma- Okay, so the quality of the falls for powering a mill is kind of a dirty secret of Sioux Falls History… The city fathers had a dam built upriver to hold water. When the Queen Been investors came to look at the falls, a message was sent and the dam was blown up, letting the falls surge. Also, this was literally the Wild West. Raised boardwalks were a common feature of 1800s and early 1900s architecture. It was less expense to import wood and build walkways than it was to create paved paths.
The trolley shut down last year (with potential of reopening) but there was always one still running in current day. Also, there is a "Pettigrew museum" built out of petrified wood slabs of very decent size.
I do want to add that till this day Sioux Falls serves a much larger population than its municipal population. Even back in 1890 it was perceived as the biggest city for hundreds of miles. So it realistically served up to five times the population for certain services. It also was a financial bubble type thing related to the railroad bubble of the 1890's and the bust happened in 1894. The Homestead act also was a government subsidized free land handout that was still pushing with Indian wars into South Dakota. A lot of the buildout was also subsidized by wealthy people wanting to capitalize on the cattle boom which saw many wealthy slaughterhouses sending out homesteaders to ranch for them. basically several financial bubbles built the beginning of Sioux falls south dakota. many of the stone buildings you covered were just recently destroyed. and quartzite is everywhere around Sioux Falls. Quartzite was shipped out to the surrounding states. there are something like 10 quarries in the city proper. Most of the quarries being used for something else now, and the only way to find them on google maps is to find weird quartzite lakes around the area
Well, Charles Dow, a prominent architect from Minneapolis/St. Paul, designed many of the early buildings. The main quarry was in east Sioux Falls, where Arrowhead Park is today. The low population growth in the 1890's was due to the market crash and depression in grain prices. My guess is the buildings were built by workers imported from St. Paul and Chicago.
Sioux Falls is clean and safe city for its size. Most people are nice enough but we've had a hard time fitting in since moving into the area. I have talked with several other people who moved into the area over the last five years and they mostly say the same thing. The schools in the outter communities are a complete joke though. IF anyone is thinking of moving here because it is clean and safe while having a great economy, I would aim to live in SF if you have any kids so they get a better education and actually have a staff that cares about your child and not about where they place in sports. Edit: I just wanted to add the city can really stink becuase of the slaughter house and it all depends on what way the wind is blowing that day.
"Hi, I'm Troy McClure, you may remember me from previous episodes such as 'Sneaking under the radar whist playing bagpipes' and another classic 'Honey! We suddenly have 10,000 kids!'
15:38 steeple looks like a obelisk with built structure around it looking very top-heavy. Prolly other half of building underground. Interesting 🤔 Also, probably landing for the airships enter from the top in those days.
I'm from Sioux Falls, and It was fun watching your video, but I found all of your insinuation, without any alternative explanation a little odd. If it seems odd to you that these structures were built when they were, what is your alternative narrative?
Question: is there any chance that those Huge stone blocks could be made of Geopolymer from molds? There are a couple other researchers that have concluded Geopolymer was infact used that we're told are "Ancient stones" & also throughout America these ruff blocks. Please let me know what you think about these 'stone' or Geopolymer blocks. Thank you 🙏🏻
I love the old buildings - I wonder if they had been torn down to hide the tunnels underneath them. Normally from the Freemasons to the hospitals and churches. I would love to hear what you truly think happened. I am so drawn to these places. I lived in Port Townsend WA and they have several old buildings there. A friend lived in the old German Consulate building with turrets on the corners. Then there is the "old" Seattle underground - supposedly a big fire and they built over the top.
I'd love to know what really happened. I think maybe the cities are what were left behind. Much more evidence of cataclysm can be found in nature. Bigger than we can possibly imagine. I did a video on Port Townsend. th-cam.com/video/cQj85oQQiaE/w-d-xo.html
So, what's the point of a false narrative here? I can see them lying back when to encourage people to come. But other than that, i don't see the point.
The stone workers who quarried the pink quartzite were imported from Scotland and housed in East Sioux Falls. Who ever did this video, thanks for the pictures but you really need to do better research and not be so insulting to the people who live here.
Ahhh, the old Court house! Skilled hands were the immigrants. It was just a couple years ago that the clock stopped working. They had to send for a clock worker from England to fix it. The very guy that works on "Big Ben!"
I'm all for conspiracies but why couldn't stone masons be around in 1880-1900? Towns nearby like Mitchell also have fancy old buildings and still don't have more than 15,000 people.
Thank you for your research & great videos. Always mind blowing. And heartbreaking that those beautiful buildings were destroyed. Thankfully they left some. There is DEFINITELY more to the story.
My dad lives there. I have a ton of pictures from the falls and the mill shell, including the narrative they have on a sign in front of it.
Thank you. Great presentation. 🧱❤️💪
So many buildings of these buildings were built on a ground that was lower than the actual ground level.
It is a clear sign that these buildings were built way earlier than we are told.
The music in the background opens my heart chakra!
Actually, much of the original street level of these original stone buildings sit one story underground. The streets were raised due to periodic flooding from the river. The timbers in the buildings were brought in on the railroads from Wisconsin and Minnesota forests.
@@indivisibleman8596 So you believe that BS !!!
@@indivisibleman8596 I'm not sure they are sitting any different than today in the cases where he is showing buildings I recognize, they are exactly how they are now even 100 years ago. 100 years is not that long ago.
I live here. Many of our big old buildings are made by the Freemasons and at the falls you can see the remains from the fire that happened at the fire mill. It was so big it could be seen across the state. Only 1 image exists of the fire.
The palisades park and pink quartzite is very resistant to wear, and the land is ancient. The rock is the second oldest on earth aside from the Himalayans (this region was a vast seascape for millions of years) so they have been deep under the earth.
Very cool place with an awesome history. Lota of skilled work and downtown is booming.

You ask the best question who is doing this in 1890?. We're going to figure this out soon.... I've been trying to follow the paper trail at the library of Congress for building permits. Some building show up but many do not. I don't know about this one though
Born and raised in sioux falls. The buildings were stone because of the quarry in sioux falls. The quarry is still there and is located near the fairgrounds. Building boomed not because of people who lived in sioux falls but who visited in between stops on the railroad. The falls don't look like they do in those old photos due to drought. That's why the mill operations was a bad idea because the flow of the falls changes every year depending on how much rain and snow we get. Much of early sioux falls was funded and planned by R.F Pettigrew who's home is now a museum. Fun fact that old firehouse is the last one in Sioux Falls to have a fire pole. Teddy roosevelt gave a speech outside of it. I'm not sure what you mean by "the narrative". Please elaborate on that. Railroad bring a huge business boom not necessarily a boom in population. Another great building in the State Theater it's been restored and is really really neat!
The 'narrative' is what history tells us. That's what I'm questioning here on this channel. Anyone can recite with history tells us. Who will question what history tells us?

Thanks so much! South Dakota's topography is interesting. Half the state is FLAT, the other half is mountainous. Driving it seems like no-man's land. These buildings are even on that terrain. Everyone that presents anything that questions the mainstream narrative is a target these days. The trolls seem to be ramping it up. Sometimes it's just people that cannot handle that notion that we've been lied to about everything.
Nice work. Again, thanks.
I live in Sioux falls and u know ancient aliens when they said India has nuclear weapons evidence. It seems like falls Park had a sub dropped on it way back. I dnt think nukes still exist
South Dakota is mostly flat. The mountainous area is only in the very western part of the state. Drive I-90 …. There really isn’t much between Sioux Falls and rapid city. The further west you travel the less populated areas you will find. Until you get to the rapid city area.
There are many quarries here and around Sioux Falls that supplied the stone for those buildings. Some still exist today
6:15 Only 2000 residents and yet a full complement of perfectly gridded streets. I want someone to sit me down and explain how "settlers" had the wherewithal to designate town and city centers and perfectly delineate insanely wide roads to carry several lanes of a variety of "future traffic." I know if I was dumped off in a horse and buggy, my pathways would be rudimentary horse and buggy trails of least resistance, especially with calories expended in mind.
It wasn't the settlers. It was the developers who came before. They laid out the town grids and sold the lots.
@@kathygustafson7994 exactly, it was the developers who planned these features for a future city into tiny railroad boom towns. Huron to the north west of Sioux Falls was planned as a state capitol with grounds for various capital buildings and a large multi lane road through the center of it -- it didn't become the capital, and those are just parks now.
Thank you for your video!!! I'm surprised that there's no building supplies buildings! No construction company buildings! No architectural company buildings! No factories producing anything! No construction photos!
In addition to the labor and materials required, also consider the costs of construction.
Urban development requires a supporting economy to fund these construction projects.
Question the source of investment; how much disposable income could these farmers and simple tradesmen have to deposit in bank accounts. Where did the money come from to fund these construction projects?
I've never considered this, but you're correct.
@@robertperry4439 mostly from investments not farmers. In the 1880s Sioux falls was visited by many many thousands of people looking to get an easy divorce. Was known as divorce capital of the nation for that decade. Also built with government money because of the fort and reservation in town.
Ignore the

@oldworldex 😉 haha, we do that in Scotland a lot too! 🤣
Land developers claiming land sites for future builds 🤔
Or stripping the buildings
Time stamp 21:25 Stone Building is a whole different type of mfg. construction process a deeper look into. Just unbelievable !
They all smell like old old old the smell is so strong. I have deviated septum with near total loss of many spectrums of scent that smell shouldn't register it's dont anywhere but these buildings and from the inside it's obvious they are bulky built for nephilim
U right about that not enough builders these were going up around texas at the same time. Who was digging the 500 to 800 ft deep sewage and water in the major cities. They werent building in Sioux Falls. They barely had enough men to dig these out. Same uncut stone on the courthouse in Goliad Tx. 1894
Lawrence,, Kansas is comprised of IDENTICAL architecture. There must have been Prefabricated Kit Buildings that could be ordered from Sears and Roebuck or similar Enterprise when ever these were erected, mirroring many other Kansas municipalities such as Paola,. Iola, Chanutte, Pratt, Pittsburgh, La Compton, Baldwin etc. The same is characteristic of frontier communities throughout Texas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Missouri Wyoming Indiana, Illinois Kentucky, Tennessee. Compare, Missoula Montana to Sioux Falls, for a random example of these cookie cutter paint by number architectures.
For those wondering it's called Sioux quartz (out Rose quartz)
I live here. There are dozens of quarries near by should falls. All of the Stone block came out of these quarries.
3:30..."there wasn't enough wheat"....what? Why wasn't there enough wheat? They built this mill not knowing how or where to get the wheat? But all the sudden there's not enough? Yeah, sure.
Many people make bad investments in our day and age, but there was no way someone could make a bad investment in the 1800s? And as a person who lives in this city, the falls run nearly dry when we have drought. We have droughts pretty frequently, so yes, the water was inconsistent.
Has anyone ever addressed the question of who FUNDED these massive construction projects? The Main-Stream history (made-up stories!) don't seem to mention this... 🤔🤭
24:53 - this building is said to date from 1909, and indeed has an Arts and Crafts style - but it is kind of remarkable for a settlement of 10,000 people...
Thanks.
I suppose flour mills needed brick/stone walls a few feet thick and several stories high with windows to blow the wheat and flour around in gusty drafts off the waterfalls. But, yeah, there was no wheat, they say? This storyline makes zero sense and the further the we all dig the more nonsensical it seems. Thanks for this one. It was a real shocker, population wise!
Watching this in a home built in 1919 on S. Phillips Ave. it’s such a beautiful city and thankfully many historic buildings remain. Side story - I was cleaning a few days ago and found an old thread spool behind the radiator. I meant to keep it but the label and thread quickly disintegrated as I handled it leaving only the wood spool.
Reading this in a house built in 1885 here in Sioux Falls 😊
🙃A small population built ALLLL of That in a few years time? 😳
If my lazy ancestors could help found and build a town why not?, ha
🧱❤️🙏🏼👋wow the narrative actually sounds stupid lol
Guy is a complete moron!!!
Sioux Falls has a few red rock quarries
The Veteran's hospital was built in the 1920's as a College, that went bankrupt in 1929.
Cool presentation
Thanks!
Just so you know, I was having trouble leaving a comment. Could’ve been my own technical difficulties, but there was no place to leave a comment. But other than that, excellent show and beautiful pictures.
Thanks, not the first time I've heard this.
I always look at these buildings as the "top" of the iceberg
Did I mention my town
My grandpa used to own the building that says IOOF from 100 years, minimum. The side door says odd fellows. I could show you tomorrow
It's difficult to find information on it, but around 1890, a Company named John Morrell moved to town. Without the slaughterhouse in town, its population would not have exploded around the turn of the century. Worth looking into. I learned some of the plant's history while I worked there.
The prison was built before North and South Dakota became states.
@@peachyokay4595 Sioux Falls also had the Option to have the State University instead of the State Penitentiary, so you gotta take those small victories into account. Lol
@@peachyokay4595wow!
Ft. Riley KS has a plethora of old world structures built with the same type of stone. It’s worth a look
Ft. Riley is limestone. I lived there
What I personally did with a lot of what they said existed in the past was. I looked up the tools they have available. Like these old buildings. Every single block and brick are perfect. Meaning. 100% of them are cut to match the others perfectly. Leads to. What tools did they have to do such tasks. The only conclusion I could possibly come up with is. Cement molds. I would love to see one of those blocks cut in half. Just like old maps. Some dating over 1,000 years old. Every single line is perfect. All done from a satellite point of view. Yet. They only had two feet. A horse. A wooden ship. A feather as a pen. Sure. Some old maps have thousands of lines. Thanks for sharing.
None of what you said is correct. It’s hilarious hearing ppl who have no clue name things up
@ODMagicMike Boy, you're dumb. Question. Why are you watching this channel? You're not the first one that has Saud this to me. I lost count after a few thousand people who said the exact same thing. My personal research started in 2012. With talking to the Elites. How about yourself? That was on Twitter. 2014 TH-cam. On every subject. Down every rabbit hole. You're extremely far behind all the rest.
Tartaria is everywhere, I’ve lived my entire life in Sioux Falls and Sioux City, Sioux City more than Sioux Falls is full of tartarian architecture.
Nice video.
I worked at the veterans hospital for 17 years. The original blue prints for that building were designed by John J Rockefeller and Omar Bradley in 1946 or 1947.
If you look at the video at 18:24 minutes, is the photo of the VA. The main building (hospital) is on the left of the photo, and the smaller building on the right is the same building you show at time stamp 24:48, just a different angle. This was built in 1920. The photo we had there they were just putting on the roof of the north wing in May of 1920.
Great work again! 🙏
thanks for your work here ,lovn it long time . bricklayer 30+ years only come across two others in my time interested in doing nice work that could do efficiently, the head builder never wants extra expense. maybe i just like art n being arty, would love opps to build even freestyle nice work
Did the music Doors get the song Light my fire from Historical Society ?
Home town.
There was no mention of the pioneer monument in Sioux falls. A very interesting shape and design that can be seen in various places around the world. Then there's the Sergeant Floyd monument near Sioux City....I am curious if these two monuments follow the lay lines. I'm sure there is a geographical significance of the two, but I haven't put it together yet. This was a well done video. I live near Sioux falls and have marvelled at the stone buildings that still stand. Very interesting to see when they were supposedly constructed.
Absurd reached at 14:00 . Completely busted ! Thank You.
so eerie - what happened here?
what do u mean what happened here? There has been fires that is what happened to the hotel that was twice built and some of the buildings not sure of exce[t the ones that are still in Historic Downtown area
The clay brick probably originated from Sioux City, where they also had an ironworks. The John Morrell plant buildings were began in 1909. They are still using the original state prison buildings. The Mckennan hospital building is the original one, still in use on the Avera Mckennan hospital main campus. The post office made of stone in your slide is serving as the Federal Courthouse. The Library, is the City Hall now, where they hold the weekly meetings, it was originally part of the Carnegie Library system.
Time stamp 22 : 52 , That is actually Stucco , they put it over brick structures and you are right , over time the heat and weathering breaks down and the original bricks start to show through.
I'm not expecting some kind of prize for this but I was born, raised, and am still living in Sioux Falls. Quartzite is almost always mentioned in connection to Sioux Falls. It's a very dense rock. It started being quarried early in the cities history and still is today. See L. G. Everist Inc. East Sioux Falls was a quarry town and possibly the reason for the trolley, to bring people from E. Sioux Falls to downtown. I've seen people mention Scottish and Italian quarry workers or masons being brought in. I thought they were Welsh but some combination is also possible. Part of the Sioux Falls experience is getting stuck waiting for an L. G. Everist train to pass.
I can't really speak to when all of the old buildings were built or why no growth took place in the 1890's, if that is what happened.
People would come here to divorce and spend some time in the city while waiting for it to go through, probably didn't stick around any longer than they needed to though. If you've been here in winter you will know why. The Cataract hotel has the divorce industry to thank for it's former existence.
Something that as an old person I pine away for is that Sioux City used to be a rival. The high school teams played each other and taking a trip to Sioux City as a teen was a right of passage. Insurance is blamed for that no longer happening, something about the companies that insure schools not wanting to deal with separate state laws. I don't know if people much younger than I am would have even the faintest idea that Sioux City was the big bad other to us.
This was great. I live a little north of Yankton, SD. It would be wonderful to hear about Yankton's old world history!
Thomas L fawick: out of sioux Falls SD, at the age of 17 he was the first inventor of a two cylinder automobile with 4 doors!
he produced the nations first four door automobile with a right handed drive with a four cylinder three speed transmaision.
only vehicle ever made in sioux Falls. He ended up becoming a millionare and fled town but gave money to our local Colleges here in town Augustana Univeristy.
1889-1978
there is a lot of miss guided information on Sioux Falls
yes we had a verry small populated town. verry small. however we had people coming across all directions looking for work. most would work for a few weeks then skip town and head towards Omaha NE or towards the cities Minneapolis
Melted red brick at the start

Its named S. Dakota after the indigenous people named the Dakota, but I guess they were all invisible.
The Sioux Quartzite stone is very accessible in the area. Love visiting when I can. Was actually considering moving my business down there but revitalizing an old building in my hometown. It's a shame these building practices weren't passed down, which I'm sure they would've without the dramatic advance in modern building materials and efficiencies.
Nicely done. Staying tuned....
I liked this alot !!
TO BUILD LIKE THAT EVERYONE MUST BE HAPPY ❤❤❤

Sioux Falls quartzite is the pink stone we see all over old Sioux Falls. In the basement of the old courthouse, there are boulders that were left as is!
It is soo crazy that u are doing Sioux Falls, because it is relevant or hits very close to home & I live in Alabama….lol 😂 Yea the GOAT football coach in my state just retired & Alabama hired a coach that coached for Sioux Falls. Didn’t know anything about that place, never heard of it. Love your videos as always, but this was very informative, considering, I was a long time Bama fan lol 😂
The FDR monument in Washington D.C. is built with stone from the quarry in Dell Rapids SD, just a few miles north of Sioux Falls. The same stone was used in most of Downtown Sioux Falls
Good job my dear sir !
Im here in South Dakota falls park how did they fortify the falls park area they have bricks behind falls so much
I grew up here, very old world !!!!
My first roommate in college was from Sioux Falls. Wish I would have gone home with her and explored but of course back then narrative was blindly accepted. Ty for another gem.
I actually live in the first school house in Sioux Falls. I can go look at in in the city museum.
The prison was built before North and South Dakota became states.
I grew up in the Sioux Falls area. My mother, being a historian, told me about "East Sioux Falls." Irish immigrants, living near the quarries in a town they called Ives. They mined and formed the stone that built the beautiful structures in the city! The stones were also made into bricks and were sent to other large cities. (Chicago) 6th St Sioux falls still has 1 block of original cobblestone. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Sioux_Falls,_South_Dakota
I appreciate this video and the time it took you to put it together? It certainly raises some questions. Thanks man. Cheers !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Life long Sioux Falls resident. I admit to regularily wearing a foil beenie but you went full foil Admiral's hat on this one.
question everything
Born and still live in Sioux Falls. And I absolutely love the idea that there is a conspiracy regarding the narrative of our city's history.
and not just yours..but every city.
I noticed in some photos there were electric poles. Where were the generating stations?
Wow, I've lived here in Sioux Falls since late 1969 and I had never considered some of these mysteries about my own town but I do remember having conversation with people in the late seventies about the idiocy of the governments "urban renewal" program back in the day that ended tearing down all these ppl perfectly good beautiful buildings and putting up brand new ugly modern ones in their place! I guess now that they were trying to hide something! By the way that beautiful Episcopalian church you showed was where I got married in 1999
anyone criticizing your work is just proof that the school systems have succeeded in dumbing down the population 😂 Love your channel ❤
There may not have been a lot of growth but there was plenty of optimism. My hometown of Brookings established the land grant college eight years before statehood.
I'm sure they were able to build in 5' of snow back in the 1800's surely winter was of no concern or consequence 😉🙄😆🤣😂
In 1974, my family spent the night in the famous Sioux Falls Train Motel. The world was so innocent then. Now I see it as a soul trap prison planet. Thankfully, the gates are now open and we can leave.
Ooookaaaay.....first question, if there were NO trees (supposedly), where did they get all the wood from to build the original wood framed buildings and why would they squander precious resources creating 8ft wide wooden walkways?
Surely, if all the wood has to be shipped in, whether by horse and cart or railroad (yet to be built) wouldn't it make more sense to make the walkways out of stone, they must have found some there?
Second question, if there were no trees, how did they fire the copious amount of bricks required just for the mill, why make it 8 storeys tall and why not assess the river first before going to all the trouble of building an 8 storey building only to burn it down 2 years later?
Third question, how did we all believe this narrative for so long?
The wood was brought in by rail. I grew up in a home in SD built ca. 1900 that was ordered as a kit from Sears and Roebuck. These home kits were very popular and became very common on the prairie.
The Queen Bee Mill and most of the other historical brick structures in Sioux Falls are not made from fired bricks; they are made from cut stone bricks. Exposed stone at the falls themselves was quarried, and there are Sioux Quartzite quarries in the area to this day.
@@JakeGryphon Did you read all my comment?
Also have you looked at the walls remaining of the mill, they are huge, at least 2 rows deep and it was 8 storeys tall, even if cut stone, that is a lot of work for just 2 years, surely any water source would have been well researched before all the vast quantities of stone were cut.
Either they had limitless amounts of money/time or they weren't very bright and wasted a large amount of time cutting vast quantities of stone for a mill that was to be used for just 2 years.
Then there's the wooden sidewalks, why waste all that lumber which had to be shipped in, whether by rail or cart, it doesn't matter, it still needs to be transported a distance and yet they had a quarry nearby where they cut all that stone, yet they couldn't cut enough for a walkway.
Wood rots, especially wood laid on a dirt surface, it makes no sense and people weren't stupid back then, they were no different from us, yet there's many anomalous things which don't add up.
Lumber from Minnesota. Shipped in by rail.
@@kateemma- Okay, so the quality of the falls for powering a mill is kind of a dirty secret of Sioux Falls History… The city fathers had a dam built upriver to hold water. When the Queen Been investors came to look at the falls, a message was sent and the dam was blown up, letting the falls surge.
Also, this was literally the Wild West. Raised boardwalks were a common feature of 1800s and early 1900s architecture. It was less expense to import wood and build walkways than it was to create paved paths.
The trolley shut down last year (with potential of reopening) but there was always one still running in current day. Also, there is a "Pettigrew museum" built out of petrified wood slabs of very decent size.
Also, these buildings extend further outside of Sioux falls into the small towns as well

20:41 these are two completely different buildings, the old photo is of the penitentiary -1600 North Dr., the modern photo is of 220 W 6th St.
I do want to add that till this day Sioux Falls serves a much larger population than its municipal population. Even back in 1890 it was perceived as the biggest city for hundreds of miles. So it realistically served up to five times the population for certain services. It also was a financial bubble type thing related to the railroad bubble of the 1890's and the bust happened in 1894. The Homestead act also was a government subsidized free land handout that was still pushing with Indian wars into South Dakota. A lot of the buildout was also subsidized by wealthy people wanting to capitalize on the cattle boom which saw many wealthy slaughterhouses sending out homesteaders to ranch for them.
basically several financial bubbles built the beginning of Sioux falls south dakota.
many of the stone buildings you covered were just recently destroyed. and quartzite is everywhere around Sioux Falls. Quartzite was shipped out to the surrounding states. there are something like 10 quarries in the city proper. Most of the quarries being used for something else now, and the only way to find them on google maps is to find weird quartzite lakes around the area
Its a shame they tore it down.. beautiful
Well, Charles Dow, a prominent architect from Minneapolis/St. Paul, designed many of the early buildings. The main quarry was in east Sioux Falls, where Arrowhead Park is today. The low population growth in the 1890's was due to the market crash and depression in grain prices. My guess is the buildings were built by workers imported from St. Paul and Chicago.
My guess is the buildings are older than we're told. It's easy to recite history. It takes a bit more to question it.
there was a quarry in Arrowhead Park? Crazy i love going to that Park and walking around there
Many people have never lifted a rock much less a solid piece as large as a foot stool.
Sioux Falls is clean and safe city for its size. Most people are nice enough but we've had a hard time fitting in since moving into the area. I have talked with several other people who moved into the area over the last five years and they mostly say the same thing. The schools in the outter communities are a complete joke though. IF anyone is thinking of moving here because it is clean and safe while having a great economy, I would aim to live in SF if you have any kids so they get a better education and actually have a staff that cares about your child and not about where they place in sports.
Edit: I just wanted to add the city can really stink becuase of the slaughter house and it all depends on what way the wind is blowing that day.

Up close and personal I saw that quarried stone when I was doing time in Sioux falls prison
15:38 steeple looks like a obelisk with built structure around it looking very top-heavy. Prolly other half of building underground. Interesting 🤔 Also, probably landing for the airships enter from the top in those days.
the falls in Sioux Falls are nature they never been missed with in its entirely
20:41 the modern photo of the prison isn't of prison but the prison and the little building in front of it is still there!
I'm from Sioux Falls, and It was fun watching your video, but I found all of your insinuation, without any alternative explanation a little odd. If it seems odd to you that these structures were built when they were, what is your alternative narrative?
Built with horses and buggies of course!
Question: is there any chance that those Huge stone blocks could be made of Geopolymer from molds? There are a couple other researchers that have concluded Geopolymer was infact used that we're told are "Ancient stones" & also throughout America these ruff blocks. Please let me know what you think about these 'stone' or Geopolymer blocks. Thank you 🙏🏻
Everything is on the table...
I love the old buildings - I wonder if they had been torn down to hide the tunnels underneath them. Normally from the Freemasons to the hospitals and churches. I would love to hear what you truly think happened. I am so drawn to these places. I lived in Port Townsend WA and they have several old buildings there. A friend lived in the old German Consulate building with turrets on the corners. Then there is the "old" Seattle underground - supposedly a big fire and they built over the top.
I'd love to know what really happened. I think maybe the cities are what were left behind. Much more evidence of cataclysm can be found in nature. Bigger than we can possibly imagine. I did a video on Port Townsend.

Ahhh home sweet home. The good ol sufu
So, what's the point of a false narrative here? I can see them lying back when to encourage people to come. But other than that, i don't see the point.
The stone workers who quarried the pink quartzite were imported from Scotland and housed in East Sioux Falls. Who ever did this video, thanks for the pictures but you really need to do better research and not be so insulting to the people who live here.
He really has no clue at all what he is talking about.
@@stevepeters8326I live here in Sioux falls and can say your bots cause he is spot on u liars
Why is that offensive u sound like a bot trying to do what it was programmed to do hide things
Edward Leedskalin knew some of the methods used in the construction of these buildings.
Ahhh, the old Court house! Skilled hands were the immigrants. It was just a couple years ago that the clock stopped working. They had to send for a clock worker from England to fix it. The very guy that works on "Big Ben!"
I'm all for conspiracies but why couldn't stone masons be around in 1880-1900? Towns nearby like Mitchell also have fancy old buildings and still don't have more than 15,000 people.
