Here is an interesting bit of news that we discovered this past summer. Our jail cells have a new home in the Minnesota Pioneer Park, Annandale, MN.

In the eighties when the Bajaris of Windy Hill Auto Parts owned Sisseton Salvage, the cells were sold. But Allen Bajari was kind enough to hang onto them and donate them to this historic little village to preserve a bit of Peever history.
