Built in 1881, this courthouse is the oldest functioning county courthouse in South Dakota. It was expanded sometime during the 20th century.
South Dakota became a state in 1889, so this courthouse was built back when Hutchinson County was a part of the Dakota Territory.
Today, the county seat of Olivet is one of the state's smallest county seats with 70 people. The street here in front of this courthouse is United States Highway 18.
