Welcome
By all accounts, our town is a rural one with just 6,700 residents, and yet, our resources and infrastructure stretch each year to accommodate the 400,000 to 600,000 guests who attend our annual motorcycle rally. This dichotomy is replicated in our diverse population of creative intellectuals and pragmatic entrepreneurs. We find harmony in the differences, not separation. Great schools. Safe neighborhoods. Growing economy. World-class public recreational space. Stunning landscapes. This town is special. And we’re making concerted efforts to make sure we remain an ideal place to visit, work, play, and live. – Heidi Kruse Executive Director Cover Photo of Bear Butte By: Kaleb Zook kzook@rushmore.com 605.490.7763

Encompassing over 102 acres of land south of Sturgis, the Black Hills National Cemetery remains the “Arlington of the West.�
Fort Meade & Its Museum By Bob Lee Fort Meade was established during the winter of 1878-79 by units of the 1st and 11th Infantry and the reorganized 7th Cavalry. The mission of the 10 company post was to provide military protection for the gold seekers and settlers. General Phil Sheridan, famed Civil War Calvary, reportedly selected the picturesque site for the new post. The site is located about two miles northwest of nearby Bear Butte. The history is deep here. It was on the parade grounds that the “Star Spangled Banner” was first played in an official capacity for evening retreat. Long before it became the National Anthem, those present at its playing snapped to attention. It was at Fort Meade that the Cavalry horse, Comanche, the only military survivor of the Battle of Little Big Horn – was officially retired with military honors. It was also at Fort Meade that the controversial Major Marcus A. Reno was cashiered from service by court martial for scandalous behavior. Many celebrated frontier Army units saw service at Fort Meade, including the 4th Cavalry which was headquartered there for over 20 years. It outlived all other frontier posts of the Upper Missouri West surviving as a military installation until 1944 when it became a Veterans Administration Hospital. It still operates as such today, serving the mental and physical health of those who served America.
It was on the parade grounds at Fort Meade that the “Star Spangled Banner” was first played in an official capacity for evening retreat. Long before it became the National Anthem, those present at its playing snapped to attention. Many remnants of the historic peace-keeping old post have been faithfully preserved. Numerous mementos of the colorful units and troopers who served here are on display at the Fort Meade Museum. The military buildings and residences have been retained under a Historical Preservation Designation and are maintained by the Veterans Administration that now occupies the post.
The campus also encompasses the scenic Fort Meade Recreation Area. Covering 6,693 acres, it is a mix of prairie and forest with miles of scenic trails for hikers, mountain bikers and horses. A scenic National Back-Country Byway runs through it. The area is also full of historic markers commemorating the area’s important historical significance including the Fort Meade Post Cemetery.
The museum is a non-profit association dedicated to preserving the history of the Fort Meade military post and units that served there from 1877 to 1944. The Fort Meade Museum is open daily from mid-May through September with hours of operation from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. For more information on the Fort Meade Museum and the history it helps to preserve visit fortmeademuseum.org.

Black Hills National Cemetery “The Arlington of the West”
Fort Meade was established during the winter of 1878-79. History runs deep at both the post and museum. Many remnants of the historic peace-keeping old post have been faithfully preserved.
The Black Hills National Cemetery encompasses 102 acres just south of Sturgis. One of just 146 cemeteries in the nation designated as a “United States National Cemetery,” it serves as the final resting place for military personnel, veterans and their spouses. The concept of a national cemetery dates back to July 17, 1862 when Congress enacted legislation that would authorize President Abraham Lincoln to purchase cemetery grounds that would be used as national cemeteries for soldiers who died while in service to the country. In 1873, all honorably discharged veterans became eligible for burial in these cemeteries. www.SturgisAreaChamber.com 2014 Visitors Guide & Directory ~ 5

In 1947, Congressman Francis Case endorsed the concept of a regional national cemetery. With the support of various South Dakota veterans’ organizations, a site just outside of Sturgis, on the Fort Meade Military Reservation, was selected. In 1948, Fort Meade National Cemetery was dedicated. Just one year later, its name was changed to Black Hills National Cemetery to avoid confusion with the existing active military installation in Maryland and in recognition of the area’s historical significance. United States Senator Francis H. Case, the man who endorsed the idea then dedicated the cemetery, is among those resting here. He hoped it would become the “Arlington of the West,” and it has. Since its dedication, the Black Hills National Cemetery has fulfilled its role as a place of rest and respect for America’s military. Since the first four burials during World War II in 1948, the remains of nearly 24,000 service members and their spouses have been entombed there.
Bear Butte State Park Formed millions of years ago when molten lava pushed upward into the overlying sedimentary rock, this igneous rock formation is a sacred site to several tribes throughout North America and portions of Canada. It is known as “Mata Paha” or Bear Mountain to the Lakota People. The Cheyenne call it “Noahvose.” Known for its holiness and mystery, Bear Butte has acted as a place of prayer and reflection for more than 4,000 years. Even today, traditional Native ceremonies are held here throughout the year. Amanda Frair
If you choose to hike the site, please be respectful of its significance. You’ll see prayer clothes and ties. They vary by tribe and band, but all are sacred and should not be photographed or touched. Sturgis is located at the mouth of two scenic canyons. The picture above was taken in Vanocker Canyon which lies south of Exit 32 off I-90.
With its small herd of bison and scenic vistas, Bear Butte is an incredible place to experience nature and show respect for the Native tribes.

Early in its history, Sturgis was dubbed the Key City for its proximity to the Hills. Today, it is conveniently located on Interstate 90 and offers immediate access to the Black Hills National Forest.
Bear Butte is an incredible place to experience nature and show respect for the Native tribes.
At the mouth of two scenic canyons, Sturgis is the gateway to several of the Black Hills’ most beautiful drives. Both Canyons offer scenic views, dense forest, rolling meadows, and towering canyon walls. The vegetation changes drastically through the seasons and every local can tell you if they prefer spring’s wild flowers or the golden oaks and aspen of autumn. Summer offers a variety of native grasses and brush while winter transforms it with frost and snow. Beautiful Wonderland Cave snakes far below the Hills and can be reached from Vanocker Canyon.

Sturgis Motorcycle Museum By Christine Paige-Diers The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally is one of the biggest motorcycle events in the United States, drawing hundreds of thousands of motorcycles and riders to this small town in the Black Hills each year. The history of this great rally and motorcycling is told every day on Main Street at the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum & Hall of Fame. The Museum is home to a vast array of excellent examples of historic motorcycles dating back to 1909. From early boardtrack racers to more modern customs, there’s something here for everyone. American-made motorcycles share space with two-wheelers from all over the world. But the history shared at this museum goes far beyond the machines, this museum also houses considerable memorabilia and Sturgis-specific historical artifacts. From early records of meetings of the Jackpine Gypsies to racing history and memorabilia to a room dedicated to women in motorcycling, even the most ardent motorcycle expert will learn something new.
While the hours vary by season, the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum & Hall of Fame is open year-round, seven days a week. Located on the corner of Main Street & Junction Avenue, the museum charges a modest admission. For more information, visit sturgismuseum.com or call 605-347-2001.

Helmet Hair Magazine named it among the “Top Ten Museums of Natural Motorcycle History.” Two stories of exhibits chronicle not only the history of the machines, but also tell the story of the men and women who have shaped the sport and the lifestyle. Thanks to local and national collectors who loan their motorcycles and other memorabilia, the museum continues to grow and expand. Exhibits are rotated on a regular basis, offering repeat visitors something new each time they visit.

In 1938, the club held what would be known as the first Rally on August 14th with a race of 9 participants and a small audience.

In 1949, Main Street was blocked off for the first time in conjunction with a 2 hour awards ceremony. It grew slowly, albeit steadily from there. In 1961, the Gypsies introduced the Hill Climb and Motorcross races and in 1964 the move was made to close Main Street for a full three days for motorcycle parking. However, it wasn’t until 1974 that a vendor set up in the Sturgis Auditorium for the first time. By 1979, the now seven-day event issued its first temporary vendor licenses. There were nine.
Local businessman, Tom Monahan, donated the artwork for the Official Rally Logo to the Sturgis Chamber of Commerce in 1986. This was key in the branding of the event. Since then, the Rally has grown to encompass huge concerts, world-class entertainment, and hundreds of vendors.

Sturgis is in close proximity to a network of trails that can be enjoyed for all seasons: mountain biking, hiking, running, snow shoeing and cross country skiing.
u Main Street to the Trails A one-mile trail has been added to connect the Fort Meade Recreation Area and the 111 mile Centennial Trail to Sturgis’ Metropolitan area. Coined as Sturgis’ “Main Street to the Trails,” this trail can be accessed via the far east end of Main Street at Lion’s Club Park.
u City Bike Path Sturgis has over 10 miles of bike path within the city limits. The most popular trail heads are located at the Sturgis Municipal Park on the east end of Lazelle Street, Centennial Park located behind McDonald’s on the west end of Lazelle Street, and the City Fairgrounds located on Ballpark Road. Dogs are allowed on the path but must be kept on a leash at all times.
u Fort Meade Recreation Area The Fort Meade Recreation Area is composed of approximately 6,700 acres of forest and grasslands. The area is managed to protect, preserve, and enhance its cultural, historic, recreational, and wild-
life values. Many trails offer both scenic views of Bear Butte and the prairie, as well as, the Black Hills to the south.
u Fort Meade National Back Country Byway The 5-mile gravel road from Exit 34 off of I-90 to Fort Meade is designated as the National Back Country Byway. While on this road you will find many noteworthy sites such as: the Veterans of Foreign Wars Memorial Chapel, Curley Grimes’ Grave, the Sidney to Deadwood Stagecoach and Wagon Freight Trail, and Calvary Jumps. Also on the byway, the Fort Meade Post Cemetery is the only intact cavalry cemetery in the western United States. 119 of the 200 burials in this cemetery took place prior to 1900. The first burial was recorded in 1878 and the last in 1943. The road is also home to the site of Camp Fechner which was the site of a Civilian Conservation Camp. Established in the 1930s, it was the district headquarters for the 16 CCC camps in the Black Hills. Additionally, it was used to house German prisoners-of-war in 1945. Today, only a few foundations remain to mark the site of the headquarters camp. The temporary wooden buildings were torn down when the program was abandoned. The byway ends at Highway 34 and the entrance to Fort Meade.

Looking Ahead: The Rally & Ranch Town Seeks Revitalization Downtown Revitalization and the Sturgis 2nd Street Plaza
Efforts are targeting economic development and a year-around thriving Main Street and downtown. “The design pulls from the local architecture, history and the unique culture of ‘riders’ that is singularly Sturgis,”
explains Eirik Heikes, Department Manager, Landscape Architecture & Planning at Four Front Design.

Looking Ahead
An important part of this effort is the planned 2nd Street Plaza on the corner of 2nd and Main Streets. The Plaza is a collaboration of members of the community and city. When completed, the lot and adjoining street will be a beautiful outdoor venue for both planned events, as well as, informal gatherings. Currently, the project is moving forward with the first phase of implementation and funding.
Bob Davis
In recent years, the community of Sturgis has made a concerted effort to revitalize its downtown core. From the development of a Business Improvement District (BID) and the Downtown Sturgis Foundation, to several new ordinances passed by the City Council, coordinated efforts are targeting economic development and a year-around, thriving Main Street and downtown.

Agriculture is the yeararound lifeblood of the Sturgis community and Meade County. With more than $119 million in cash receipts in 2011, ag affects every aspect of our economy. Livestock claims the majority of local ag land use.
Upon its completion, the Plaza will be an ideal space for live entertainment and vendors, as well as, a serene spot to read the paper or visit with a friend on a week-day afternoon. For more information, to see larger versions of the architectural drawings, or to make a donation towards the creation of the Plaza, visit the Sturgis Area Chamber at 2040 Junction Avenue.
Agriculture
Britton Blair, Blair Brothers Angus
While it may not claim many headlines, agriculture is the year-around lifeblood of the Sturgis community and Meade County. With more than $119 million in cash receipts in 2011, ag affects every aspect of our economy. Traditional row crops are common here, though recent years have brought variety. Bear Butte Gardens east of Sturgis grows and sells certified organic fruits and vegetables, while grapes are being grown at the new Belle Joli Winery on the fringe of Sturgis and Vanocker Canyon. However, it is livestock that claims the majority of local ag land and the largest economic impact. Last year, this industry was devastated by a freak early fall storm named Atlas. The first weekend of October, heavy wet snow followed heavy rain. In the end, the totals far exceeded any predictions or estimates with nearly three feet of snow drifting under hurricane force winds. Thousands of trees still full of summer’s leaves snapped under the weight of snow and ice. Thousands were without power for days. Roadways were closed and emergancy calls were answered in tractors, trucks and snowmobiles. The roof of Sturgis’ middle school collapsed with similar damage to many commercial properties.
Last year, the local ranching community was devastated by a freak early fall storm named Atlas. To contribute to our ag families as they rebuild their herds, visit the Rancher Relief Fund website at RanchersRelief.org. The brunt of the storm, though, was taken by the livestock. Thousands of cattle still in their summer pastures drifted aimlessly looking for shelter. Sadly, tens of thousands died in fence lines and draws before the storm calmed. Some ranchers lost most of their horses and entire herds of cattle. This is a loss almost impossible to convey to those outside the industry. Herds are the product of decades of breeding and genetic programs often spanning multiple generations of a ranch family. Such a loss is as personal as it is painful. In Atlas’ wake an outpouring of support came from the Sturgis community and across the nation. Cattle and horses were donated from ag neighbors in surrounding states. Financial donations were made by corporations and private entities. This generosity has made a future in ranching seem possible for many of those most impacted. We are so grateful. If you’d like to contribute to our ag families as they rebuild their herds, contact the Rancher Relief Fund, PO Box 231, Rapid City, SD 57709; call 605-945-2333; or visit their website at RanchersRelief.org.
The Trademark and Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, Inc. Each year, half-a-million motorcycle enthusiasts attend the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally™ held in August. A world-recognized brand has grown-up around the event. Due to this brand recognition, Sturgis is attempting to rejuvenate and give back to the community via royalties on the Sturgis trademark in relation to Rally goods and services.
Looking Ahead
Sturgis is a part of a comprehensive marketing and branding effort among Black Hills communities to promote the region as a great place to work, play, and live. In recent years, South Dakota has topped the list of business friendly states. That coupled with the natural beauty of the Hills and a high quality of life, makes the Rushmore Region an ideal location for new and expanding businesses, as well as, entrepreneurs.

The Rushmore Region
This is a chance for the small town of 6,700 to benefit from a popular event in order to improve the community for the locals and for its visitors. The licensing program was greatly enhanced when a local, well-respected businessman, the late Tom Monahan, created and designed the well-known “Official Logo” in 1986, which he donated to the Sturgis Chamber of Commerce to help promote the Sturgis® Motorcycle Rally™ and support community projects. Through the generosity of the royalties, local school programs, elderly meal programs, arts and culture programs and other non-profit charities have received much needed funding that is hard to obtain in small rural communities.

In 2010, the Chamber of Commerce made a community driven decision to remove themselves from the trademarks in order to devote their attention to local commerce and businesses as most Chambers operate and function. The non-profit Sturgis® Motorcycle Rally™ Inc. (SMRi) was formed and received assignment of the rights to the Sturgis® related trademark and related registrations including the Monahan “Official Logo.” This organization is a volunteer board comprised of local business people, motorcycle industry partners and tourism industry representatives. Their vision is to hold the Sturgis® marks for the residents of Sturgis in order to retain the benefit where it belongs.
This is not a program to take advantage of anyone. It is simply a vehicle for motorcycle enthusiasts to give back to a town that has created so many great memories. For more information on the Sturgis® trademarks, contact Sturgis® Motorcycle Rally™ Inc. (SMRi) at 605-347-5336.
