The Dust Bowl
4:30 pm – 7:00 pm The Dust Bowl South Dakota Agricultural Heritage Museum, 977 11th St, Brookings, SD 57007, USA For South Dakota, the drought that turned the topsoil into violent dust storms that blackened the sky began in the 1920s and continued into the 1930s. Joseph Hutton, state soil scientist, was on the front lines, documenting with his camera, the devastation that led to an exodus of many farmers. He used his words to express the need for conservation through poetry and his radio program. Designed as a traveling exhibit that tells this story through Hutton’s photography and poetry, the The Dust Bowl exhibit will be on display at the SD Agricultural Heritage Museum through August 2024.
