South Dakota State Capitol

A CLASSIC CAPITOL

 

Built in Pierre in 1910, South Dakota’s elegant State Capitol building rises above the treetops in the Missouri River valley. The building’s classic architecture anchors the capitol grounds which also include Capitol Lake, the Fighting Stallions Memorial and memorials honoring World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War.
