Preserve South Dakota

Preserve South Dakota, formerly “The Historic South Dakota Foundation,” is a 501c3 non-profit corporation. It was founded in 1978 by a group of concerned citizens who saw a growing need to protect and preserve historic places throughout the state. Much of the uniqueness that is reflective of the character and history of the state, both urban and rural, is found in residential and commercial structures and sites that date back to an earlier era. It is a grassroots volunteer organization supported by those committed to historic preservation and economic development.

Preserve South Dakota is the statewide partner of the National Trust for Historic Preservation in South Dakota.
