The Dacotah Prairie Museum’s mission is to facilitate
conversation of the prairie and its people, cultivate insight, and
curate its collections as a catalyst for inter-generational exchanges to
inspire children, connect families, and build community through
education, programming, exhibits, and its collections.

Our Vision:
The Dacotah Prairie Museum, a non-profit, permanent learning center
in service to all people, is committed to the continued growth of its
collection of material evidence representing the ongoing history of its
region. This collection will be used by present and future generations
to study and interpret the lives and accomplishments of previous
generations inhabiting the Dakota Prairie. Through these endeavors the
Museum will continue to advance itself as a cultural, educational and
economic asset to South Dakota.
