Museum on Main Street

The Smithsonian offers a traveling exhibit through the South Dakota Humanities Council called Museum on Main Street. The most recent exhibit hosted in the state was “Between Fences,” which traveled to six communities in 2008-2009.

The next exhibit scheduled to come to South Dakota is “New Harmonies,” slated for 2012. South Dakota Humanities Council will be taking applications for communities to host the exhibit starting in the summer of 2010
