Teaching New Generation

Part of the mission for the Yankton County Historical Society is to educate. And this even spills over into the work being done at the Mead Cultural Education Center. Warren Flood, one of our construction employees, has been learning about old techniques for painting and wall construction. The walls in the building were primarily constructed of concrete and metal lath. Having the younger generation involved in the rehabilitation of an old building is exciting for us as an organization. There are many ways you can help. Our Schwan’s Cares campaign is still going on. And our anniversary registries are still active at Menards and Kopetsky’s Ace Hardware. If you would like to help, please contact the Dakota Territorial Museum at 610 Summit Street (in Westside Park), on Facebook/Dakota Territorial Museum, visit us online at www.dakotaterritorialmuseum.org or www.meadbuilding.org, or call us at 605-665-3898.
