Now located within the Dakota Sunset Museum, this historic blacksmith shop was originally constructed in 1901 by the Grand Army of the Republic and its women's auxiliary, the Women's Relief Corps. For a few years, GAR and WRC hosted movies, games, and dances here, but when these groups declined nationwide, the Gettysburg WRC sold the building in 1920. The building was purchased by G.L. Stocker, an Iowa-born blacksmith. By the time he closed his shop in 1970, Stocker had become a local celebrity for keeping his business alive for so long and was possibly one of the last in the country to practice his craft. After his death, the building passed to his son Worth, who donated the structure to the city due to its historical value. It was added to the National Historic Register in 1996.

Completed in 1911 and replacing a previous courthouse at this location, Potter County Courthouse has served Gettysburg and the surrounding area for more than 110 years. Its design was influenced by the Renaissance Revival and Classical Revival styles that can be seen in many other South Dakota courthouses. Today, the building houses the County Circuit Court of the 6th Judicial Court and the County Magistrate Court.
