In 1844 the first structure was built in Shakopee, by two fur
traders, Oliver and Harriet Faribault.
"Mrs. Harriet Faribault, who died at Shakopee last week, was the widow of David Faribault and was of Sioux origin. They were the earliest settlers in Shakopee, and were members of the well known Faribault family from which the county seat of Rice takes its name."

"Mrs. Harriet Faribault died at her residence in East Shakopee, Scott county, recently. She was the widow of the late David Faribault, who was a brother of Alexander Faribault, and from whom the place took its name. She was of Sioux origin, and her husband was of French descent. They were among the earliest settlers of Shakopee, in fact, Mrs. Faribault was born there before the place was visited by a white man. Mrs. Faribault leaves three daughters, Hattie, Sarah, and Mrs. Monege, to mourn her loss." Source: Daily globe. Pub. Date November 23, 1880, p. 2

The original Faribault log home has been moved from its site in Shakopee to take its place of honor in the historic complex being created east of Memorial Park by the Scott County Historical Society.
One of the earliest structures of the area, the log house dates back to 1842, and was first built to serve as a trading post where Oliver and Harriet Faribault traded goods to the Indians of the area for furs. Braves who once trod the floor, bartering in the building included Chief Shakopee, for whom the city of Shakopee was named.
Before being moved to the Historical Society site east of Memorial Park on Highway 101 east of Shakopee, the house stood for 127 years where it was first erected on East First Street, near the site of the Pond Mission.∼Wife of Oliver Faribault; daughter of Colonel Menary, a soldier at Fort Snelling, Minnesota, and a "Sioux Indian girl". Her alternate first name was Henriette, her maiden name was Menary or Menegre, and her Sioux name was Waukan-Yanke. She married Oliver Faribault on Feb. 11, 1844, at the St. Francois Xavier Sioux Mission, located at Little Prairie on the St. Pierre River. They had nine children together:
Gabriel Olivier Faribault (b. 1837)
Olivier Emile (b. 1840)
Angelique (b. unknown)
Josephine (b. 1842)
Jane Luce (b. 1843)
Pelagie (b. 1845)
Sara Irene (b. 1847)
Henriette Luce (b. 1848)
Lauren Philippe (b. 1850)
Obituary:
Mrs. Harriet Faribault died at her residence in East Shakopee, Monday last. She had been unwell for weeks, but during the past ten days was apparently improving. Except to old settlers she was unknown, of late years never leaving her residence. She was a full-blooded Sioux, but married David Faribault [this is an error; her husband's name was Oliver Faribault], a Frenchman. He died at Shakopee in 1853. Since then she has lived just at the outside of the city with her daughters. She was probably born at or near this place before visited by white man.
Cause of death: typhoid fever
