Spirit Mound Historic Prairie near Vermillion, S.D.

Spirit Mound Historic Prairie WHAT: The Lewis & Clark Corps of Discovery had heard tales of “a hill of little devils” that was said to be inhabited by spirits. It was rumored that these little people could kill people with their arrows at great distances. At the mound the expedition didn’t find any little people but did find a “most butifull landscape.” Spirit Mound Historic Prairie is open for hiking and nature observation and is in the process of being restored to native prairie grasses. Because of modern dams on the Missouri River, there are very few places where a person can stand today and know that Lewis and Clark stood in the same exact location. Spirit Mound is one of those few sites. Spirit Mound, which spans 320 acres, is home to a rich variety of prairie wildflowers and grasses, and fritillary butterflies, birds and other prairie animals.

WHEN: Open year-round when State Park is in operation WHERE: 31148 South Dakota Highway 19, Vermillion, S.D. MORE INFO: Park entrance license not required. Free hiking trail and wheelchair accessible. Drinking water, toilets and picnic tables. Visit gfp.sd.gov/stateparks/directory/spirit-mound

George Shannon, the youngest and most educated in the Corps of Discovery, was lost for

16 days in the area of present day northeast Nebraska. Sixteen Communities and two tribes have joined together and created 12 Private Shannon and One Lewis and Clark Statue — all hand carved and life-size! If you collect the 12 private Shannon stamps and 1 Lewis and Clark stamp you will receive a beautiful print of Private Shannon!

Communities along the trail that have the statues are Bloomfield, Crofton, Lindy, Santee (Ohiya Casino), Niobrara, Verdigre, Winnetoon, Center, Creighton, Wausa, Hartington, and the Wynot Area which is St. Helena, St. James, Bow Valley and Wynot (the statue is located in Wynot) and the Lewis and Clark statue is located in Verdel.

If you collect all 13 stamps from the communities above you will receive a limited edition print of Private Shannon complete with a poem –from artist Ray Kelly of Tea, South Dakota and poet Edward Cook.

We hope you can take time to follow the Historic Shannon Trail and enjoy the beautiful scenery and sites along the way.

Dracula, Sioux City Community

Theatre, 1401 Riverside Blvd.

This new adaptation restores the suspense and seduction of Bram Stoker’s classic novel to the stage. As Count Dracula begins to exert his will upon the residents of London, they try to piece together the clues of his appearances- in a valiant attempt to save themselves from a hideous fate. Rich with both humor and horror, this play paints a wickedly theatrical picture of Stoker’s famous vampire. 7:30 p.m. Box office, 712-233-2788. scctheatre.org.
