Pond-Dakota Mission Park is the site of the historic Oak Grove Mission and the 1856 Gideon and Agnes Pond House. Located along the bluffs of the Minnesota River, the site was founded by Gideon and Samuel Pond – missionaries to the Dakota Indians and farmers, and ministers in Bloomington. Historic buildings and educational signage explain and interpret the Native American and early European settlement of the site. Volunteers will now help restore the historic landscape as well. Volunteers of all ages, skills, and abilities are welcome to “step back in time,” while also participating in this fun and rewarding project. Tours will be provided as part of the volunteer event.
