The Sisseton Agency Headquarters and Wacipi Grounds of the Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate of the Lake Traverse Indian Reservation was recently placed in the National Register of Historic Places, according to the South Dakota State Historical Society.

The National Register is the official federal list of properties identified as important in American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, and culture. The State Historic Preservation Office of the State Historical Society and the Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate (SWO) Tribal Historic Preservation Office worked in conjunction with the National Park Service, which oversees the National Register program, to list the historic vernacular and ethnographic landscape.
