Did you know that the DPM has over 40,000 artifacts in its collection, but less than 5% are on display at any given time?
To preserve these unique items, artifacts must be rotated off exhibit periodically to prevent long-term exposure to light, temperature fluctuations, and other factors.

Ledger art is known as one of the first instances for Native Americans to create artwork on paper.

Dwayne Wilcox continues this tradition of ledger paper art that has lasted generations.

We received an incredible donation from Curt Rowell, from the estate of H.T. Foss. 47 glass plate negatives from the late 1890's featuring buildings and people of Groton, SD. We've created prints put them on display for all to see in detail!
