The Hypolite and Angelique Dupuis House on the Sibley Historic Site is a handsome structure. While it may be impressive and interesting to students of Minnesota architectural history, the lives of its original owners are at least as
interesting as the building itself. The lives of Hypolite and Angelique Dupuis—each of them individually and the two of them together—are fascinating and meaningful. Taken together, their stories nicely illustrate a good deal of early Minnesota history.

Daniel C. Munson is a retired chemical engineer and a student of technological/financial history as well as Minnesota history. He contributes regularly to “Financial History” magazine as well as to “Over the Years,” a publication of the Dakota County Historical Society. He is the author of two books, Malice Toward None: Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War, the Homestead Act, and the Massacre—and Inspiring Survival—of the Kochendorfers, and Fiscal Follies: A Little Fun with Economics (and Economists).
