German Mutual Insurance Co

German Mutual Farmers Insurance Company, established in 1883 in what is now Scotland, South Dakota, is recognized as the oldest business in the area and one of the earliest farm mutual insurance companies in the state. Founded by a group of German-Russian locals, the company initially required policyholders to be of German-Russian descent until 1918 when English began to be used for documentation.

Headquartered at 420 Main Street, German Mutual Insurance manages policies and claims with a rich historical foundation, including preserved meeting minutes and account ledgers from its early years. The collection highlights the company's legacy and role in the community, reflecting the heritage of its founders and their descendants.
