South Dakota Agricultural Heritage Museum
Step into South Dakota’s agricultural story at the South Dakota Agricultural Heritage Museum, located on the campus of South Dakota State University.
Explore a replica 1915 farmhouse, step inside an 1862 homestead shanty and get an up-close look at the impressive 65-horsepower J.I. Case Steam Traction Engine. Even the museum building itself is a piece of history, carefully restored to reflect its 1925 design. From educational tours and programs to hands-on learning experiences, the museum welcomes curious minds of all ages. Be sure to stop by the Museum Store for gifts, local handmade items and treasures that celebrate South Dakota’s agricultural roots.
Don’t forget to check in with the Brookings Great 8 Passport. The South Dakota Agricultural Heritage Museum is one of the can’t-miss stops on this local adventure.
