Alone in the Wilderness

Dick Proenneke retired at age 50 in 1967 and decided to build his own cabin on the shore of Twin Lakes. The first summer he scouted the site and prepared materials, and returned the next summer to finish the cabin where he lived for over 30 years. Dick filmed his adventures and now we can all watch this amazing man build his cabin by hand.

Vanished South Dakota: Towns of Yesterday

Visit the remnants of once-thriving towns to discover what lead to the birth, boom and demise of former communities throughout the state.

“Change is inevitable. I felt honored to have been given the opportunity to look for these old places, people and stories.

‘Vanished’ provides a vehicle for folks to share and remember the past for a much bigger audience. I find myself taking as many backroads as I can, looking for humps across the landscape where a railroad once lived. Documenting deteriorating homesteads so I can go back and dig up history on them. Even more exciting, my kids are enjoying the travels and discussions with the locals, as they’ve asked me to take them to a few of these vanished locations. If we encourage our youth to explore history, document it and share the facts with others, preservation of ‘yesterday,’ will be more accessible into the future.”

- Vanished South Dakota Producer, Stephanie Rissler
