Wall Community Guide_2023

WELCOME TO WALL

Window To The West

The Oglala Dakota named this area mako sica, land bad, probably because of how difficult the region is to traverse — sudden ravines, dramatic cliffs, long and shadeless expanses. They didn’t view the land with enmity, though. Rather, the Oglala Dakota and other indigenous people view the Badlands as a sacred place.

The starkness of the Badlands is the result of the recession of an ancient inland sea. The Oglala Dakota were the first people to deduce the immemorial history of this special place when they encountered the remains of sea life throughout the land.

A Century of Hospitality

The dramatic geography of Badlands National Park and the sweeping plains of Buffalo Gap National Grasslands serve as a backdrop to the community of Wall, South Dakota. In fact, this town takes its name from the anomalous stone walls found throughout the Badlands. Wall has existed for over a century, but during all of those years, one thing has certainly remained consistent in this friendly place: its signature western hospitality.

From its beginning, Wall has been providing its residents and its visitors with a hospitable and helpful place to rest, restock, live and thrive. The community was originally established in the summer of 1907 as a railroad station for the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad, and was formally incorporated as the city of Wall on January 25, 1908. During that same period, a U.S. Postal route was introduced, schools were built, phone lines went in and the Cheyenne Valley Electric Company was established. Wall had the heart and capacity to meet the needs of travelers, and people were discovering that this growing city was a place where they could hang their hats and raise their families.

As the community continued to grow, grain elevators were built to serve farmers in the region and a town dam was constructed to provide water for fire protection. A train depot, blacksmith, post office and drug store were also constructed to bolster the life of residents. Even a restaurant and a bar popped up during these times, furthering the community's capacity to serve its residents and its visitors.

More than a hundred years later, the city of Wall has grown even more and is still supporting its residents and offering a comfortable bed, a delicious meal, an unforgettable encounter with nature and cold cups of water to its many visitors.

Meet Your Chamber

The origins of the Wall-Badlands Area Chamber of Commerce are found in a group of business leaders who met and hosted events to benefit the community of Wall. Eventually, this group decided to formalize their efforts and officially incorporated as an organization in 1968.

Today, the Chamber remains a strong and active organization that facilitates community events and programs. The Chamber also strives to promote its members. The Chamber continues to grow in its membership and is looking forward to serving the Wall-Badlands area for years to come.

VISION: The WallBadlands Area Chamber of Commerce provides active leadership to promote and advocate business growth to make Wall a proud and dynamic community.

MISSION: The Wall-Badlands Area Chamber of Commerce proudly serves its members by acting as a liaison in the promotion of business, tourism and community growth.

This local observatory has been making some big discoveries for the last decade. Last summer, Badlands Observatory opened its doors to visitors for the first time, and the experiences have been astronomical.

Discovering Awe at Badlands Observatory

Teresa Hofer and her life-partner, Ron Dyvig, founded Badlands Observatory, located just six miles outside of Wall. The couple was drawn to the area because of the nationally-recognized dark skies found in the Badlands region. For over 10 years, Ron and Teresa have led the charge in the scientific research that’s been happening at the astronomical observatory, including the discovery of 25 main belt asteroids. The 26 inch Newtonian reflector telescope has been the flagship instrument in these endeavors.

Last year was the first year that Ron and Teresa opened the observatory to tourists, and they couldn’t be more pleased with the experience of sharing the awe of space with others. Guests to the observatory are able to view the sun, moon, galaxies, star clusters and planetary nebulae using the public telescopes on the outdoor observation deck.

“We had visitors from 25 states and three countries last summer,” Teresa said. “That was quite rewarding. We got wonderful reviews.” Visitors are able to reserve Dark Sky tours and take daytime facility tours at Badlands Observatory. Depending on the time of year of their visit, different planets will be on display. “Everybody who sees Saturn for the first time in a telescope is in awe,” Teresa said.

One of the joys that Ron and Teresa report is witnessing families who have never seen the Milky Way before set eyes on our home galaxy for the first time. “When they get to our area they are just totally mesmerized,” Teresa said. To book your Dark Sky tour, visit badlandsobservatory.com.

A Gem of a Community: A Relocation Story

Like Family

“We finished the interview and the principal asked if it would be OK if we drove out to the school,” Ashley said. “I was a little confused because we were, after all, sitting in the school interviewing. But we jumped in the school vehicle and drove north of town. I wasn’t sure where we were going.” Ashley was rightly confused. Wasn’t this where she was to teach? But Ashley was up for the adventure, so she rode with the principal about 22 miles north of town to the Big White Country Schoolhouse. This one-room schoolhouse is where Ashley, if she accepted the job, would be teaching grades kindergarten through sixth grade under one roof.

“My husband and I decided that I would teach one year here and then we'd move on after I got a year of teaching under my belt. But that one year became two. And then three. And then 13.” Ashley fell in love with the close-knit community she discovered in the Wall area. “It

was like a family. Some of the people that we’re closest to now we met during those first few years of teaching out there at the schoolhouse. It’s just a gem of a community.”

Ashley now teaches middle school and high school math in town, but she credits a lot of her teaching chops to her time at that one-room schoolhouse. “I had to wear a lot of hats out there, but I look back at that time and I realize that I’m the teacher I am today because of it.”

Opportunities

Ashley and her husband discovered the joys of raising a family in a community like Wall. “It's a safe community where our kids can be outside rollerblading and riding bikes, and we don’t have to worry at all — which is a really big blessing for my family,” she said. Ashley, her husband and her three kids enjoy the easy access to world-class outdoor recreation while still enjoying some great municipal amenities like Wall’s city pool.

“And we can grow here;

there's a lot of opportunity and possibilities here.” Ashley and her husband have also appreciated the tremendous opportunities related to their careers. “My husband and I have also been blessed career-wise here in Wall. I’m living my dream as a teacher and he has his own mechanic business and he’s also able to help out at Wall Drug. We’ve both been able to expand our careers really well here.”

Unexpected things

Ashley, her husband and her three kids have discovered something wonderful in Wall: a safe, supportive and beautiful place to live. “Sometimes the most unexpected things in life happen. It was very unexpected to end up in a small town, western South Dakota, which is completely different from eastern South Dakota where I grew up.” Sometimes, the best things in life are found in the adventure of the unexpected. And for Ashley and her family, they found something priceless in this gem of a community: a home.

Ashley Kier was living in Sioux Falls when she got the chance to interview for a rural teaching job in the Wall area. She was excited for the opportunity, so she made the drive over I-90 and interviewed with the principal. The interview process was a great experience. But then something happened that Ashley didn’t expect.

An Award-Winning Education System

We met Ashley Kier on the previous pages. She relocated to Wall to pursue a teaching career. And 13 years later, Ashley and her family adore living, working and playing in their new hometown of Wall.

Another noteworthy feature of this community that Ashley has some great insight about is the outstanding school system in Wall. “It might sound really cheesy,” Ashley said, “but it’s like a giant family with this school. You really can witness the preschoolers and kindergarteners grow up and go through the education system because that process happens in one building.” The school has separate wings for the different grades, but different ages of students still get to interact with each other on a regular basis. “There’s a lot of interaction between the middle and high school students here, which is really great,” Ashley said.

All three of Ashley’s kids attend the Wall School District, and they love the tightknit feel of the school combined with the incredible number of opportunities provided there. “We have about 280 students enrolled at one time, but for such a small school, we have a great reputation for athletics — from the boys football program, to the girls basketball program

and everything in between. Kids can do band, choir, oral interpretation. There’s a lot of opportunities for kids to really grow here.”

And with low student to teacher ratios, students can get the unique, personalized attention they need to thrive. “We have teachers with great experience who bring a lot to the table. And great administrators, too,” Ashley said. As a teacher and as a mom, Ashley can’t say enough about what the Wall School District has meant to her. “I would have never thought I would be teaching in a smaller community like this and raising my kids here. But this is exactly where my husband and I need to be and where my kids need to be.”

Education & Schools

Educational Excellence

The student to teacher ratios at the Wall School district is low (11 to 1). The teachers here are highly experienced, having taught for an average of 17 years. The Wall School District also has a 100% high school completion rate.
