South Dakota State
The museum is dedicated to preserving our rich agricultural history and
rural heritage. Our collections and exhibits depict technology, crops,
and livestock. In addition the exhibits examine human experiences, institutions,
and cultures that were shaped by the state's rural landscape and diverse
environment.
The museum's permanent exhibit "Dreams Fulfilled and Dreams Forgotten,"
illustrates South Dakota's rural and agricultural heritage and includes
a restored 1915, 65 horsepower steam traction engine, an original 1882
homestead shack, and a replica 1915 farmhouse.
By 1915 South Dakota's farms and ranches were becoming prosperous. Farm
income reached one of its highest levels during the first World War. As
a result farmers and ranchers build houses to replace their claim shanties.
The Neo Classical architecture movement was popular nationally.
