Located at 1311 Fourth Ave in Worthington, the Dayton Mansion was built in 1890 as a residence for the George Draper Dayton family by respected Sioux Falls, SD architect Wallace Dow.

George Dayton was a banker and a real estate developer in Worthington before moving to Minneapolis shortly after 1900 to start Dayton's Department Store.

The Dayton Mansion served as a family home for many years, and was later used as a nursing home.

The Historic Worthington, Inc. organization has had a complete restoration of the structure.

Tours are available upon request.

The facility is available for meetings, weddings, reunions, etc. More info . . .
