South Dakota State Historical Society and Museum [SD]
The South Dakota State Historical Society was first organized as the Old Settlers Association of Dakota Territory in 1862. Today, the society is an office within the Department of Tourism and Economic Development, and manages five programs—archaeology, archives, historic preservation, museum, and research and publishing. All programs with the exception of the State Archaeological Research Center are located in the Cultural Heritage Center building in Pierre.
The site offers library access, research information, visitor information regarding the museum, a listing of all exhibits with photographs and a brief synopsis, and on online store for society publications.
