Normarke Farm sits on 87 acres of wooded hills and open pasture lands. Your hostess' dream of a bed and breakfast was already ten years in the making when she purchased the land in 1992. It was her culmination of a two year search for just the right property. Construction started in the fall of 2001 and was completed in December of 2002.
The farmlands have a rich history starting back during the gold rush days when General George Armstrong Custer is reported to have camped in the meadow between the present log home and the lake. In the late 1800's, the property also played host to a train station and a school. When these forest lands came off public lands, the order was signed by Theodore Roosevelt. The first owners, the Reausaws, deeded the small lake on their property to Lawence County and later to the state of South Dakota so long as it was up kept for public use. To this day it is a popular fishing lake for the locals. It is stocked with pan sized trout at least three times a year.
