T H E FA L L S The actual trip from Sioux Falls to Mitchell covers 70 miles give or take a few miles, but the westward stretch of I-90 is much further than that in spirit. The span between Sioux Falls and Mitchell is truly where the West begins, and few places in the Midwest offer such a sweeping change in scenery and spirit in such a short drive. At 169,000 residents, Sioux Falls is the state’s largest city. It is home to much of the state’s big business, minor-league professional sports and opportunities for fine art. Visitors who leave Sioux Falls and head west soon see bison, (South Dakotans generally call them “buffalo”) grazing in grassy pastures near Hartford. They see some of the first evidences of heavy tourism, too, with billboards pointing the way toward visitor destinations ahead. The area between Sioux Falls and the James River is farm country. Around here, corn is king, planted in April and harvested in October. Soybeans and winter wheat – which arises with a blazing bright green hue in the spring – also are common around these parts. At Mitchell, the Corn Palace awaits with its majestic light-up domes and brightly colored murals. And just beyond Mitchell’s western limit lies the real West — where cattle, cowboys, explorers and, just a few hours away, mountains await.

T H E FA L L S South Dakota is known as “The Land of Infinite Variety” and Sioux Falls epitomizes that slogan perhaps more than any other city in the state. Founded along the banks of the Big Sioux River, Sioux Falls got its name from the mighty falls that crash down on the city’s north end. From its agrarian beginnings in 1856, Sioux Falls has exploded in population, from 100,000 in 1990 to 169,000 today. That growth has come thanks to Sioux Falls’ ability to constantly change with the times. For years, Sioux Falls was known as a cattle and meat-packing town, yet it has morphed into a banking business community, a destination for health care, and a departure point for outward travel, thanks to its regional airport. -------------------------------------------------------------------------BATTLESHIP MEMORIAL: For a leg-stretching break or a picnic spot, check out the USS South Dakota Battleship Memorial, which consists of a one-foot-high concrete barrier in the outline of the ship and some salvaged pieces from the vessel, all contained within Sherman Park. BIKE TRAILS AND PARKS: Sioux Falls is home to over 70 public parks: Arrowhead Park, Family Park, McKennan Park, Japanese Gardens at Terrace Park & Yankton Trail Park just to name a few. The centrally located Falls Park is the hub of the park system and connected to many of the city’s other parks via the bike trail corridor, which encircles the city and includes long stretches alongside the Big Sioux River.

CATFISH BAY: The Greatest Show on H2O is ranked one of the top attractions to see a water skiing comedy adventure with the whole family. This man made 25 acre private water ski park is located on I-90 near Cliff Avenue, with bleacher seating for over 1,000 people, concessions and parking for all.

T H E FA L L S CONCERTS: Sioux Falls has fabulous entertainment options at the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center, Sioux Falls Arena, The District, Badlands Pawn, Orpheum Theatre and Washington Pavilion’s Mary W. Sommervold Great Hall. There are lots of local band shows at venues in the downtown area as well. With big-name concerts, children’s shows, plays and symphonic/musical performances, there’s something to please everyone. FALLS PARK: First-time visitors to Sioux Falls would be remiss to not stop and see the city’s namesake, located along North Phillips Avenue, near the downtown area. A century ago, the three-tiered falls were used to power a mill and, later a hydroelectric plant. Foundations of these buildings still are visible. Attractions of Falls Park are a five-story observation tower, an information center and plenty of viewing areas. The Open Air Shelter is home to the Falls Park Farmer’s Market and is available for large picnics, special events and more with electrical and water services available. The Falls Overlook Cafe is dining with a view located in the old Sioux Falls Light and Power Company hydroelectric plant building. At night the Falls Park Sound and Light Show is shown at approximately 9:30 each evening, weather permitting, during the tourist season. FESTIVALS & FAIRS: Sioux Falls is home to such events as Sioux Empire Fair (happening in August), JazzFest (happening in July), RibFest (happening in June), Siouxland Renaissance Festival (happening in June) and LifeLight Christian Music Festival Tours.

T H E PA L AC E Driving along I-90 between Mitchell and Chamberlain, visitors aren’t yet bombarded with many pleas from beckoning tourist attractions. That doesn’t mean there aren’t places to stop! Sports fans should take notice that three world-class athletes grew up in these parts. MIKE MILLER, the former University of Florida star and member of the NBA’s Denver Nuggets, grew up in Mitchell and played his prep basketball in the Corn Palace. CHAD GREENWAY, formerly of the University of Iowa and a 10-year linebacker for the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings, hails from Mount Vernon. RILEY REIFF, first round pick in the 2012 NFL Draft from the University of Iowa, plays offensive tackle for the Detroit Loins, was raised in Parkston. Stop into any of these towns and locals likely can tell you about the exploits of these players as they led their teams to state high school titles. Hungry? The small towns between Mitchell and Chamberlain generally have uptown restaurants that feature true home-style cooking. Vacations are built around fast-food, but sometimes it’s nice to stop off the highway and enjoy a meal in the slower pace of a small town. At Chamberlain is one of the region’s most unique state rest areas. Remember, this is Lewis and Clark country, and the rest area at Exit 263 offers visitors a look at a replica of an expedition boat, as well as some of the best views in South Dakota. Discover

T H E PA L AC E In August, 1879, the original town site of the Town of Mitchell was platted, in the spring of 1881, the Town of Mitchell was incorporated as a village and then in 1887 until the present, the City of Mitchell has existed. It was named for Milwaukee banker Alexander Mitchell, President of the Chicago, Milwaukee, and St. Paul Railroad. --------------------------------------------------------------------------

WORLD’S ONLY CORN PALACE: The Corn Palace stands as a majestic, uniquely American, folk art icon on the rolling prairies of South Dakota. The first Mitchell Corn Palace was built in 1892, just three years after South Dakota became a state – when the city was just 12 years old. Early settlers displayed their agricultural bounty on the building’s exterior to prove the fertility of the region’s soil. The Corn Palace that now sits on Main Street between Sixth and Seventh Avenues is actually the third Corn Palace in Mitchell, but its purpose hasn’t changed. The building is famous for the huge, colorful murals on its sides, which are redesigned every other year. 2015 brought major renovations to the interior and exterior of the building — New light-up domes, balcony on the front, remodeled entry way and lobby with much more! Much of the work on creating the murals is done by hand. In June the rye and sourdock is removed from the building and new bundles are stapled there by the end of July. Sketches are created and transferred to roofing paper and nailed to the mural panels. Thirteen shades of colored corn are planted and hand-picked locally. The cobs are then Top: One of the many rides sawed in half, shaped and trimmed to fit the designated spaces, then nailed into place. during the Corn Palace Festival; Roughly 275,000 ears of corn are used to redecorate the murals.

From 1948 through 1971, Howe designed the mural panels for the Corn Palace. Also inside, the Clyde and Mary Goin Corn Palace Collection depicts the history of Mitchell’s three Corn Palaces. Signed glossy photos by many of the famous performers at the Corn Palace, among them Bob Hope and Red Skelton, are displayed along with countless items of Corn Palace memorabilia.

DAKOTA DISCOVERY MUSEUM: The museum covers the time period from 1600, when the Native Americans were still largely undiscovered to the Dust Bowl era of the 1930s. Here, you can learn about the American Indian cultures that dominated the Plains before white settlers arrived. Among the exhibits that help tell the Indian story Top: Dakota Discovery Museum; Bottom: Restored are a tipi and numerous Country Church. authentic Indian garments and artifacts including one of the most complete and pristine collections of American Indian quill and bead-works. Settlers brought crops and cattle to the Plains, and that story is told with the aid of vintage farm and ranch equipment, including an impressive sheep wagon, which sheepherders lived in under the wide prairie skies. One of South Dakota’s most prominent artists, Oscar Howe, has some of his most prominent works at the Dakota Discovery Museum. Considered to be one of the key influential figures in modern Native American art, Howe matured as an artist in Mitchell, earning his bachelor’s degree from Dakota Wesleyan University in 1952 and serving as an artist-in-residence while at the school. In addition, Howe designed the Corn Palace murals for more than 20 years during the 1950s and 1960s. South Dakota native Charles Hargens Jr., also has art displayed at the museum. Hargens was known for his scenes of the Old West and his attention to detail and accuracy, as he was commissioned to paintings and drawings for more than 300 books and 3,000 magazines. Beyond the exhibits inside the museum, there’s also an outdoor campus with real-life structures and equipment. In the outdoor campus behind the main building are four authentic historical buildings, including an 1885 oneroom school house and the fully furnished 1886 VictorianItalianate home of the co-founder of the Corn Palace, Louis Beckwith.

PREHISTORIC INDIAN VILLAGE: Discovery of prehistoric fossils were first found by a student of Dakota Wesleyan University in 1910 but it wasn’t until 1975 when the site was preserved by the Mitchell Prehistoric Indian Village Preservation Society. The Mitchell Prehistoric Indian Village is the only archaeological site in South Dakota open to the public. It is a National Historic Landmark and on the National Registry. Each summer archaeologists come and excavate the site, near Lake Mitchell, and we learn more about the first settlers who lived here in the Northern Plains, believed to have been ancestors of the presentday Mandan. Guests can watch as the archaeologists uncover artifacts in the comfort of the climate-controlled Thomsen Center Archeodome and tour the Boehnen Memorial Museum to see a reconstructed lodge and many of the 1.5 million artifacts found over the years. The Shoppe Antiquary has an extensive collection of Native American, indigenous and regional art, jewelry, pottery, books and more. Much of the information learned at the village dates back to previous inhabitants who lived at the site 1,100 years ago. The site was a major bison processing center,

D I S C OV E R ANIMALS OF THE PRAIRIE

Watch for these animals found in South Dakota.

BISON/BUFFALO: South Dakota is the nation’s top bison producer, with nearly 40,000 of the animals living within the state’s borders. They no longer roam wild over the plains, but there are pockets where they roam in near-wild conditions. Nearly 1,600 buffalo roam Custer State Park’s 71,000 acres, and about 450 bison live in the Badlands National Park Wilderness Area. CANADA GOOSE: This large waterfowl inhabits the entire state. Its characteristic black and white feather patterning with the unmistakable honking noise make it easy to recognize. COTTONTAIL RABBITS: Wild rabbits, which can vary from gray to reddish brown, can be found all over North and South America. Although sometimes considered a pest by farmers, they are quite adaptable and will move on to live in a more suitable area if no food is available where they are. COYOTE: South Dakota’s state animal, this canine is an opportunistic hunter that is located throughout the state. Though they may cause many farmers and ranchers fits by scaring or hunting their cattle, coyotes are a vital part of the state’s ecosystem.

Top: Prairie Buffalo; Bottom: Whitetail Deer.

DEER: Mule & Whitetail deer are the most common located all over South Dakota. They’re most active during the fall in a time called “the rut,” these deer can be seen feeding in fields during morning and evening hours.

D I S C OV E R EAGLE: Bald eagles winter below Missouri River dams, and in parts of the Black Hills. During spring and fall migration, they can be seen east of the Missouri River, especially in the James and Big Sioux river areas. Golden eagles nest mainly west of the Missouri River. PRAIRIE DOG: Mostly in western South Dakota, this small mammal burrows a series of tunnels and rooms underground where large colonies live in what are called “prairie dog towns.” While actually a rodent, the prairie dog gets its name from a warning call it makes that sounds similar to a small dog’s bark. PRONGHORN ANTELOPE: The antelope primarily inhabits western South Dakota. It uses its speed to escape danger, running at speeds that can top 60 mph, making it the fastest land animal in North America. RINGNECK PHEASANT: South Dakota’s state bird, the Chinese ringneck pheasant is a vital part of South Dakota’s economy. Hunters from across the world come mostly to eastern South Dakota to chase these wily birds. Population estimates figure there are between 8 and 10 million of these birds in the state. SKUNKS: In South Dakota there are two species of skunks: striped skunks and spotted skunks. Both of these mammal species spray to defend themselves. They live almost anywhere they can find adequate shelter, but prefer a woodland edge. Brushy areas, rocky outcrops, open fields with wooded ravines, fencerows, and dumps all provide shelter and places to forage.

D I S C OV E R NATIVE AMERICAN TOURISM

South Dakota is home to nine American Indian tribes, a fact that presents opportunities for adventurous travelers who are willing to go off the beaten path, take a drive and experience different cultures. Following are some of those opportunities for I-90 travelers. LOWER BRULE RESERVATION: On the western bank of the Missouri River in central South Dakota is the Lower Brule Reservation, which features the Golden Buffalo Casino and the Buffalo Interpretive Center, which teaches the story of the buffalo, its importance and significance in the North American Indian cultures of the Great Plains, and its relationship to the people of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe. PINE RIDGE RESERVATION: In southwestern South Dakota, visitors to the Badlands can drive a bit farther to visit the Pine Ridge Reservation. Those interested in history may want to see the Wounded Knee Massacre Site. YANKTON SIOUX RESERVATION: Take a detour south of Interstate 90 in southeastern South Dakota and visit the area of the Yankton Sioux Reservation, which features Fort Randall Dam on the Missouri River, the historic Fort Randall Chapel (preserved from a former military fort), Fort Randall Casino, and many nearby state parks and recreation areas.

Memorial markers, interpretive signs, and monuments commemorate the heritage of the Lakota and Dakota nations and allow visitors to learn history from the Native American and early settlers’ points of view. A few of the sites along the byway include Sakakawea and Sitting Bull Monuments, Mobridge; Fort Manual, Kennel; and Fischer’s Lilly Park, Fort Pierre, where Lewis and Clark met with Native Americans. REST STOPS: The teepee marks the South Dakota rest stops along I-90. There are eight rest stops westbound, they are located at mile markers 42, 100, 167, 221, 264, 301.5, 363 & 412.

SCENIC DRIVES

An east-to-west trip on Interstate 90 will bring you face to face with giant buffalo, dinosaurs and jackalopes. Even the Interstate Information Centers along the way get into the act with oversized concrete teepees that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The growth spurred by the construction of I-90 in South Dakota during the 1960s has forever changed the towns along the corridor in the state. For example in 1967, an average of 1,800 vehicles passed by Mitchell on I-90 each day, according to statistics kept by the South Dakota Department of Transportation. And by 2033, the DOT expects that average to increase to 13,600 vehicles per day.

CAMPING DESTINATIONS

From the Big Bend of the Missouri River toward the south, here are some of the state parks and recreation areas along the river in South Dakota. PLATTE CREEK RECREATION AREA: Fishing and water recreation draws a quieter crowd to Platte Creek Recreation Area to enjoy Lake Francis Case on the Missouri River. Visitors to Platte Creek enjoy natural features similar to those at Snake Creek, but from a quieter campground with similar amenities. PEASE CREEK RECREATION AREA: With almost 600 acres to explore and easy access to the Missouri River’s Lake Francis Case for great fishing, Pease Creek is a popular day use and camping park. The wooded terrain provides shaded campsites and hiking opportunities on the bluffs above Lake Francis Case.

SNAKE CREEK RECREATION AREA & BURYANEK RECREATION AREA: Lake Francis Case draws visitors to Snake Creek Recreation Area & Buryanek Recreation Area. Buryanek is a calm riverside park on the west bank of the Missouri River is tucked away into the hills of the valley. The parks are popular with boaters and anglers, as well as those looking for scenic beauty along the Missouri River. History buffs will enjoy knowing that the Lewis and Clark expedition traveled through the area, where they were told to watch for “burning bluffs” along the river. WEST BEND RECREATION AREA: Excellent walleye and small mouth bass fishing is supported by a relatively stable lake level and cool water temperatures. With most fishing done from boats, the protected marina offers convenient boat launching, regardless of the wind direction. In the autumn, hunters use this as a base camp to hunt pheasants and Canada geese. SINGING HORSE TRADING POST & BED AND BREAKFAST: Singing Horse Trading Post is located on the Pine Ridge Lakota Reservation and specializes in quality Native craft, including fine arts, quill work, star quilts, leather craft, bone/antler jewelry, beadwork and more.

D I S C OV E R Between Mitchell and Chamberlain are several interesting sites and towns to visit, each offering their own beauty, charm and style. MT. VERNON: Located twelve miles west of Mitchell and one mile north at Exit 319. Mt. Vernon is a progressive community and proud to be the home of Chad Greenway, who has be a linebacker for the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings for the last 10 years. The town was originally called Arlandton after the man who provided shelter for travelers on their way up the Fort Thompson trail. It then was named Mt. Vernon when the railroad pushed westward from Mitchell after 1881. The Post Office Department requested the change because Arlandton was too much like the already organized Arlington. The first official school was opened up in January of 1883. April 3, 1889, a great fire destroyed much of the town. In all 53 buildings burned to the ground. In 1902 telephone service found its way to the small town of Mt. Vernon. Then in 1912, the town was “lit-up” when electrical lights were used for the first time. STICKNEY: Located just 8 miles south of Exit 310 on the scenic US Hwy 281. The town was named for J.B. Stickney, an official with the Milwaukee Railroad. J.B. Stickney was also a descendent of the historic family that founded the town of Stickney in Great Britain (England) at the time of the Norman conquest. Top: Aerial view of Mt. Vernon; In 1905 the original plat for the town was file on August 17, with the town only consisting Bottom: Memorial in Stickney. of nine blocks, two strips of three blocks north of Main Street, one strip of three blocks south of Main, running east and west. The town features a beautiful park, camp sites, a pool, great businesses and some of the best hunting in South Dakota.

D I S C OV E R SD HUNTING & FISHING South Dakota has over 5 million acres of hunting opportunity on public land and private land that has been leased for public hunting. However, the vast majority of the state is land held in private ownership. Permission is required to hunt private land in South Dakota. Your ability to develop a connection with private landowners will enhance your hunting opportunities. We encourage you to create a personal and working relationship with private landowners. Respect their rights and their land. The 2016 summer to winter hunting season starts off with archery antelope on Aug. 20 then regular antelope on Oct. 1. Deer season then begins with archery on Sept. 24 followed by Black Hills Nov. 1, West River Nov. 12 and East River Nov. 19. Fall turkey season also begins on Nov. 1. South Dakota’s most popular seasons of all, pheasant season, begins Oct. 15. Your daily limit is 3 roosters with a possession limit of 15. But don’t forget about our other hunting offers such as other small game and waterfowl like quail, rabbits, doves, grouse, duck and geese.

Besides the great hunting options across the state, fishing is also one of the leading outdoor activities. The Missouri River crosses I-90 at Chamberlain, where anglers can regularly be seen searching for walleye or any of the near 30 species of fish in the state. The Missouri River accounts for 40 percent of the fishing in the state, according to the South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks Department. Annually, about 300,000 anglers spend more than 3.5 million days fishing South Dakota waters, which hold 700,000 acres of public fishing.

D I S C OV E R PLANKINTON: Plankinton is the county seat of Aurora County and is located at the intersection of two national highways in Interstate 90 and U.S. Highway 281, a factor that has proved beneficial to bringing business to Plankinton. Given its proximity to long haul trucking corridors, Plankinton has become a natural choice for industry and distribution. Named “2007 Community of the Year”, it’s only 20 miles west of Mitchell, Plankinton is surrounded by rich farmland, which bears some of the best pheasant hunting in the world every fall. A multitude of recreational activities including sport fishing in the Missouri River to golfing at the scenic Fish Lake Country Club await visitors at every turn. Come enjoy leisure time with the friendly residents of Plankinton! WHITE LAKE: Right off of Exit 296, is a vibrant community located somewhere between 21st century technoscape and the American Old West! White Lake’s quality educational system and eco-friendly industries generate opportunities in the small city of friendly people and family values. There is a memorial plaza, located on main street, that brings generations of White Lake history into focus. Etched markers honoring early pioneers, the landing of the Explorer II balloon and Armed Forces veterans make the plaza a place of reflection and education.

D I S C OV E R KIMBALL : Located at Exit 284 this small town was named for J.W. Kimball, a surveyor. In 1880, the first homestead claims were made in the vicinity. Kimball was then organized as a village in the spring of 1883. Today in Kimball, the South Dakota Tractor Museum has become one of the town’s key attractions. While the museum specializes in the restored antique tractors that are owned by local community members, the museum has a little bit of everything. In its “Prairie Treasures” building, visitors are taken back in history, with items like the town’s old jail cell to numerous old cars and buggies and a laundry machine. A oneroom schoolhouse was moved to the grounds and also has a blacksmith’s shop, an outhouse and a separate building that hosts household goods from years ago. PUKWANA: Located a few minutes north at Exit 272. The town’s name was derived from an Indian word meaning peace pipe from Longfellow’s Hiawatha. Pukwana was founded in 1881. For many years in the 1920s and 1930s the town was well known internationally for a device designed to save gasoline consumption in automobiles. Today it is locally known for their summer lawn mower races. Yep, souped up riding lawn mowers that zip around a race track just like the big boys. If you’re looking for some great pheasant hunting sites or a hot biting fishing hole, there are several guide services available here.

THE RIVER Our forefathers would be surprised by today’s Missouri River. When Lewis and Clark passed this way in 1804-1806, the river ran fast and brown, hence its former nickname, the Big Muddy. Settlers who came here in the 1870s and ’80s quipped that the Missouri was “too thick to drink, too thin to plow.” It was flood-prone, full of snags and dangerous to cross. Today’s Missouri River is nothing like that. Thanks to a series of dams constructed in the second half of the 20th century, the Mighty Mo is deep, blue and inviting. Dams at Pierre, Fort Thompson, Pickstown and Yankton have created four massive lakes, widely regarded as the Great Lakes of South Dakota. With more than 400 miles of river within South Dakota alone – and 3,000 miles of shoreline – there’s plenty of room on the cool Missouri River for everyone who has an urge to camp, boat, swim or just enjoy a beautiful South Dakota sunset. Even if the Missouri wasn’t a recreational paradise – which it is – it still would be one of South Dakota’s most popular destinations, thanks to the bustling fishing industry it has spawned. Walleye are king on the Missouri, but numerous other catchable fish species live here as well, including huge salmon and trout, which thrive in the deep water created by the dams. Beyond the river, westward travelers emerge into South Dakota’s West River region, which is markedly different from the East River part of the state. The high plains, buttes and rolling terrain characteristic of the American West are abundant west of the Missouri, as are Westernthemed tourist attractions. Discover

THE RIVER Meriwether Lewis and William Clark spent the late-summer and early fall of 1804 exploring present-day South Dakota. Their return trip, in 1806, led them back through the area. The captains’ journal entries for this region described lush vegetation and wildlife, not to mention unusual sights like barking squirrels, burning bluffs and immense herds of buffalo.

Follow in the footsteps of the Corps of Discovery along the Missouri River. Walk where they walked, see what they saw and feel what they felt as the sometimes wild and isolated trail is revealed. Now, 200 years later, you too can experience the same rugged adventure along South Dakota’s Lewis and Clark Trail. For I-90 travelers, the best place to learn a quick lesson about Lewis and Clark and stand where they stood is the Information Center along I-90 at Chamberlain. It affords breathtaking views of Lake Francis Case, a sprawling Missouri River reservoir. When Clark stood on a bluff in 1804 looking out over what is now Chamberlain, he saw a sweeping panorama of river, bluffs, plains, sky and wildlife. “Vast herds of buffalo, deer, elk and antelopes were seen feeding in every direction as far as the eye of the observer could reach,” he wrote in his journal. --------------------------------------------------------AL’S OASIS: Nestled along the Missouri River in Chamberlain and Oacoma, SD.

THE RIVER of St. Joseph’s Indian School opened in 1991. The words “Akta Lakota,” meaning “to honor the people,” were chosen because the museum is truly intended to honor and preserve the rich culture of the Lakota people. Displayed there is a fascinating array of Indian artifacts, artwork and educational items. Much of the museum’s original collection came from gifts given to St. Joseph’s by alumni and friends since the school opened in 1927. Since the museum opened, it has acquired many new pieces and continually strives to add relevant pieces to the collection. The museum also houses a Collector’s Gallery, which gives local artists a place to display and sell their work. The facility is more than a traditional museum; it is an experience that provides visitors with a living lesson on the Native American way of life, both past and present.

THE RIVER & Iron Works of Leavenworth, Kansas at an estimated cost of $303,623 and carried US Highway 16 over the Missouri River. In 1953, Lake Francis Case was created by the new Fort Randall Dam and the bridge became obsolete. The Wheeler Bridge, originally known as the Rosebud Bridge, also completed in 1925, was floated up the river 70 miles and the two bridges were joined to span the new lake. The bridge now carries the “Business Loop” of I-90. The main path of I-90 crosses the lake on a modern bridge 1 mile (1.6 km) south of the Chamberlain Bridge and a railroad bridge crosses about 300 yards (270 m) south of I-90. The community was proud to have the bridge be placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. Then the bridge was completely overhauled in 20112012. In June 2014 there was a bridge rededication… The historic bridge added a new name – it became known as American Legion Memorial Bridge. LEWIS AND CLARK INTERPRETIVE CENTER: More than 200 years after Lewis and Clark marveled at that scenic beauty during their journey up the Missouri River, modern visitors are still marveling at what they see in Chamberlain. In fact, visitors to the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center (at the Chamberlain rest area between I-90 Exits 263 and 265) can stand on a bluff overlooking the river and feel Clark’s observations come to life. It features interpretive panels and murals reconstructing the expedition journey.

T H E FAC E S The Black Hills take their name from a Sioux Indian word: paha sapa, meaning “hills black.” From a distance, the Black Hills look exactly like that – dark, misty hills rising from the otherwise flat prairie. Locals tend to divide the Black Hills into two areas: “The Southern Hills” and “The Northern Hills”. The Southern Hills is home to Mount Rushmore National Memorial, Wind Cave National Park, Jewel Cave National Monument, Harney Peak, Custer State Park (one of the largest in the US), the Crazy Horse Memorial (the largest sculpture in the world) and the Mammoth Site in Hot Springs, the world’s largest mammoth research facility. Attractions in the Northern Hills include Spearfish Canyon, historic Deadwood, and the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, held each August. Yet some of the greatest fun in South Dakota’s quiet mountain range happens off the beaten path. Within the Black Hills National Forest are 11 water reservoirs, 450 miles of hiking trails, dozens of campgrounds and some 1,300 miles of clear, cold-water streams. But the name “Hills” is misleading. Eighteen of the Black Hills’ peaks surpass 7,000 feet, including Harney Peak, which at 7,242 feet is the the highest point in the United States east of the Rockies. To truly enjoy and understand the Black Hills, visitors need to reach out and actually touch Paha Sapa, these “hills black” that have beckoned to travelers and adventure-seekers for centuries.

T H E FAC E S Rapid City is the second largest city in the state of South Dakota. Named after Rapid Creek, on which the city is established, it is set against the eastern slope of the Black Hills mountain range. Known as the “Gateway to the Black Hills” and the “City of Presidents”, it is split by a low mountain ridge that divides the western and eastern parts of the city. Ellsworth Air Force Base is located on the outskirts of the city. There is a thriving downtown, scores of shops, restaurants and bars, and friendly people eager to welcome you. It’s a good place to plan day trips from. -------------------------------------------------------------------------MOUNT RUSHMORE: This October will be the celebration of the 75th anniversary of the state’s most iconic landmark. All year long, in congruence with the National Park Service’s centennial, events at the memorial and across the state will reflect on the significance and rich history of this beloved monument. It’s a national icon, a massive sculpture and the enduring image of South Dakota. It’s also a dynamic and active place, where people work, others stop for tours and some visit for a chance to celebrate America and its promise of freedom and independence. The monument was carved from a mountain in the Black Hills by master sculptor Gutzon Borglum, his son Lincoln Borglum and their team of brave, dedicated workers. Work was launched in 1927 and continued until October 1941. Gutzon Borglum didn’t live to see it completed, nor did his vision of the four presidents depicted from head to waist come to fruition. But Borglum succeeded in creating perhaps the most famous sculpture in American history. The monument is dominated by the largest face on it, and the only one with parts of his chest and shoulders shown: George Washington. Next to him is his fellow Virginian, Thomas Jefferson, with Theodore Roosevelt, who explored the Black Hills and loved the area, tucked in the middle. At the right edge is Abraham Lincoln.
