South Wall, Yankton Stockade

Text on the marker reads: The South wall was built of cedar posts close together and was about 200 feet south of here with the only gate in its center on Broadway. The stockade was 450 feet square and the principal building therein was Ash's Log Tavern, later the Merchants, now the Stetson Hotel. By local legend General George A. Custer may have been billeted therein in April 1874 during the fury of the blizzard.
