Tamarack House

Here in 1839, in Crawford County, Wisconsin Territory, Joseph R. Brown, first settler of this valley, laid out the town of Dahcotah.  The following year as a member of the Wisconsin Territorial Legislature, Brown secured passage of a bill setting up St. Croix County.  In the election to select a county seat Dahcoth won and here Brown built Tamarack House to serve as a courthouse, the first capitol building in Minnesota.
