The fashion design and interior design class toured the Old Courthouse Museum, 8th & Railroad, and the Pettigrew Museum today. They had a great time seeing the historical part of downtown Sioux Falls, the styles of a Queen Anne home, and the artifacts. There was even a photo of the Trojan Marching Band from 1996 at the Old Courthouse Museum!
