History, Culture and Heritage resonate across the great state of South Dakota.  Eastern South Dakota offers some of the best attractions, lakes and landmarks the country has to offer.  Every landmark has a story to tell, from the quartzite cliffs of Palisades State Park to the falls of the Big Sioux River to the picturesque bluffs of the “Wild and Scenic” Missouri National Recreational River. 

South Dakota is an outdoor playground encompassing fishing, hunting, boating, hiking, biking, ATV trails and snowmobile trails.  South Dakota is home to National Grasslands, Lewis and Clark Trail, Fort Sisseton Historic State Park and several National Wildlife Refugees. 

Some of the great attractions include the world’s only Corn Palace located in Mitchell, Laura Ingalls Wilder in De Smet, Great Plains Zoo and Outdoor Campus in Sioux Falls, and outstanding, world-class art and cultural Museums like the Terry Redlin Art Center in Watertown, Akta Lakota Museum and Cultural Center in Chamberlain, Dakota Discovery Museum in Mitchell and the National Music Museum in Vermillion.
