Camp Rapid

Camp Rapid is a South Dakota Army National Guard installation located in Westside, Rapid City, South Dakota, just inside the edge of the Black Hills. Although the South Dakota state capital is Pierre, South Dakota, the state's Adjutant General has his office and headquarters in Camp Rapid. Background Camp Rapid developed as a summer encampment site for the South Dakota National Guard in the early 20th century, using land borrowed from the Bureau of Indian Affairs "Sioux Sanitorium" and Rapid City Indian School, today's Indian Health Service (IHS) SiouxSan Hospital, located just west of Camp Rapid. It became a permanent installation during and immediately after World War I, when it was used for mobilization of National Guard units for the front in France. Its use continued during the 1920s and 1930s, and it was taken over as a federal installation during World War II. Permanent and temporary buildings erected during World War II continue in use today. During the Cold War, Camp Rapid continued to host and support National Guard activities, including a series of annual exercises involving National Guard troops from many states conducting operations in the Black Hills. In the early 1990s, a new series of building projects replaced tent pads and brick and metal "tents" with permanent structures for use as armories, barracks, and support facilities. Security of the Camp was upgraded significantly in the early 2000s as part of nationwide security improvements. While small, the camp is a showcase for the National Guard and one of three active, manned military installations remaining in the Black Hills, and one of four in South Dakota.

Center for Earth Resources Observation and Science

The Center for Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) is a United States Geological Survey data management, systems development, and research field center. It serves as the national archive of remotely sensed images of the Earth's land surface acquired by civilian satellites and aircraft. EROS is located northeast of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, between Baltic and Garretson. In the 1960s the federal government decided it needed a single facility to handle and distribute Landsat satellite data. A study determined that such a data center be located where it could receive transmissions directly from a satellite passing over any part of the conterminous United States. This limited the location to an elliptical area that stretched from Topeka, Kansas, to just north of Sioux Falls. A rural location was also recommended to avoid radio and TV interference. South Dakota Senator Karl Mundt worked with local business leaders in South Dakota to buy the land necessary for the data center and in 1970 it was announced that the Sioux Falls area had been chosen as the site for EROS. Construction started shortly thereafter and the facility opened on August 7, 1973. Operation EROS has nearly 600 government and contractor employees. It is staffed by USGS employees and employees from private industry that work under contract to support EROS' mission.

Central Church (Sioux Falls, South Dakota)

Central Church (formerly Central Baptist Church) is a Christian church associated with Converge located in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The church was founded in 1883 as Swedish Baptist Church and is home to Central Preschool and Kindergarten, the largest preschool in South Dakota. Today they serve the general Sioux Falls area, and have services at 5:00 pm Saturday and 8:30 am, 9:45 am and 11:15 am Sunday. History The church was founded in 1883 as Swedish Baptist Church. The church was previously located in facilities on 8th St. and Spring Ave. and, before that, 12th St. and Dakota Ave. The church changed its name to Central Baptist Church in 1920 and Swedish language services were dropped in 1925. The current church building, located on Ralph Rogers Road, was built in 1995 and later expanded in 2006 to include a 1,200-seat sanctuary and a family life center. The first service in the new sanctuary was Christmas of 2006. The new building fully opened in 2007. In 2016, the church changed its name to Central Church but remains associated with Converge International. External links Central Church Website. Central Preschool Website References
Chapel in the Hills

Chapel in the Hills is a stave church located near Rapid City, South Dakota, United States. History The Chapel in the Hills was dedicated on July 6, 1969, as the home for the radio ministry of Lutheran Vespers. Lutheran Vespers hosts such as, Richard A. Jensen were broadcast nationwide from this location in the Black Hills. The church is a special ministry of the South Dakota Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. The Chapel in the Hills is an exact replica of the Borgund stave church in Norway. The Borgund stavkirke was built around the year 1150 and is considered the most completely preserved stave church still standing in Norway. The Norwegian Department of Antiquities provided a set of blueprints of the Borgund church to be used in the construction of the Chapel in the Hills. The woodcarvings resulted from the combined effort by Norwegian woodcarver Erik Fridstrøm and Rapid City resident, Helge Christiansen. The site includes an authentic log cabin museum that was built in 1876 by Edward Nielsen, a Norwegian immigrant gold prospector from Hole, Ringerike, Norway. There is also a stabbur, a grass-roofed house, that serves as the visitor center and gift shop.

DakotaDome

The DakotaDome is an indoor multi-purpose stadium in the north central United States, located on the campus of the University of South Dakota in Vermillion, South Dakota. Opened 47 years ago in 1979 at a cost of $8.2 million, the 9,100-seat venue is the home of the South Dakota Coyotes for football, swimming and diving, and track and field. The approximate elevation is 1,220 feet (370 m) above sea level. For five seasons beginning in 2013, the DakotaDome also hosted Briar Cliff University football (NAIA); following the 2017 season, the Chargers resumed home games on their campus in Sioux City, Iowa, 25 miles (40 km) to the southeast. The Dome hosts other events throughout the year, including the high school football state championships each November. In 2014, a proposal for a new basketball arena went through and construction began just south of the Dome. The new arena, the Sanford Coyote Sports Center, which seats 6,000, opened in the fall of 2016 for volleyball, preceding the 2016–17 basketball season. Originally an air-supported structure, numerous roof collapses led to it being replaced by a $13.7 million steel roof in 2001. In early 2019, construction to rebuild the interior of the west side of the stadium began. The project cost was approximately $26.3 million and was completed in 2020.

Western Union Building (Aberdeen, South Dakota)

The Western Union Building, formerly known as the Hagerty Block and currently as the Dacotah Prairie Museum, is a historic bank building in Aberdeen, South Dakota. It is individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a contributing property to the Aberdeen Commercial Historic District. History The Northwestern National Bank formed in Aberdeen in 1888 with Henry Marple as president. In August 1888, the bank purchased the property and general store at 21–23 South Main Street to build a new bank building. Construction took place from 1888 through 1889 with the bank opening in the new location in February 1889. In May 1891, a fire damaged the building and gutted the Kearney and Boyer grocery store. In March 1903, another fire damaged the building, originating in the basement banana room of the Gamble & Robinson grocery store. The building was purchased by Jay Hagerty in 1907, becoming known as the Hagerty Block. In 1920, existing tenant Western Union took over the most prominent space in the building, which then became known as the Western Union Building. Over the years, aside from the bank, the building housed grocery stores and several offices. In 1970, the building was donated to Brown County for a museum, which opened as the Dacotah Prairie Museum that October. By 1980 the museum was the sole occupant of the building. The building was nominated for the National Register of Historic Places as the only remaining 19th century bank building in Aberdeen; it was listed on December 12, 1976. The building is also listed on the National Register as a key contributing property of the Aberdeen Commercial Historic District; the district was listed on May 23, 1988. Architecture The Western Union Building is an example of Romanesque Revival architecture. The structure is a three-story building made of red brick laid in running bond. There are three main entrances, each framed by a large arch and set a few steps above street level. Pilasters extend the full height of the building, separating windows on the first floor and window pairs on the second and third floors. The interior has undergone renovations, but the exterior has changed little over the building's history.

Installation de recherche souterraine de Sanford

L'installation de recherche souterraine de Sanford (SURF) , (anciennement Sanford Underground Laboratory) à Homestake ou Sanford Lab, est un laboratoire souterrain près de Lead, dans l'État du Dakota du Sud, qui abrite de multiples expériences de physique dans des domaines tels que la recherche de matière noire et de neutrinos. Initialement, il était prévu de faire partie du projet du Laboratoire d'ingénierie et de métier profond (DUSEL) du département de l’Énergie des États-Unis . Historique La mine de Homestake était une mine d'or souterraine profonde découverte au cours de l'année 1876 lors de la ruée vers l'or dans les Black Hills. À la fin des années 1960, la mine a accueilli l'expérience de Homestake. L'opération, également connue sous le nom de l'expérience de Davis, a permis à Raymond Davis Jr. de mesurer directement le flux des neutrinos solaires. Les écarts significatifs entre les observations et les prédictions théoriques ont conduit au problème des neutrinos solaires. Sanford Lab En 2011, le ministère de l'énergie a accepté de financer la recherche en cours au Sanford Lab. L'autorité de la science et de la technologie du Dakota du Sud opérant le laboratoire par le biais du Laboratoire national Lawrence-Berkeley. Les deux premières expériences majeures réalisées au Sanford Lab ont été l'expérience souterraine Grand Xenon (en) (LUX) consacrée à la recherche de la matière noire, et MAJORANA (en), élaborée pour mettre en évidence le phénomène rare de la double désintégration bêta sans émission de neutrinos. L'expérience CASPAR (Compact-Accelerator System Performing Astrophysical Research), consacrée à la recherche astrophysique, a débuté en août 2015 dans le but de commencer les tests d'étalonnage d'ici janvier 2016. Le département de l’Énergie a également retenu le Sanford Lab pour l'expérience Deep Neutrino Underground (en) (DUNE). Outre ces installations, on y retrouve le laboratoire Deep Underground Gravity (DUGL) ainsi que le réseau de capteurs de mécanique des roches GEOX.

Dinosaur Park

Der Dinosaur Park ist ein Freilichtmuseum in Rapid City im US-amerikanischen Bundesstaat South Dakota. Die 1936 eröffnete Anlage gilt als ältester Dinosaurier-Themenpark der USA und wurde 1990 in das National Register of Historic Places aufgenommen. Sie enthält sieben Modelle. Geschichte In den 1930er Jahren investierte die Stadtverwaltung von Rapid City vermehrt Geld in Projekte, die der Tourismusförderung der Region dienten. Der damalige Präsident der South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, Cleophas C. O’Harra, entwickelte die Idee eines Parks, in dem lebensgroße Dinosaurier zu sehen sind. Den Menschen sollte durch den Park ein realistisches Bild der prähistorischen Lebewesen vermittelt werden. Die Stadt beschloss, die Finanzierung der Anlage zu übernehmen, und beauftragte den Bildhauer Emmit A. Sullivan sowie Frank Lockhart und George McGraw mit dem Bau der Dinosauriermodelle. Der Paläontologe Barnum Brown wurde als Berater hinzugezogen. Die Auswahl der Dinosaurier erfolgte nach entdeckten Fossilien und Fußabdrücken im Gebiet der Black Hills. Der Park wurde im Jahr 1936 eröffnet. Exponate Da die Exponate des Parks in den 1930er Jahren erbaut wurden, repräsentieren sie den damaligen Stand der Erkenntnisse über die Gestalt und Lebensweise der Dinosaurier und sind deshalb nicht auf dem Stand der heutigen Wissenschaften. Eröffnet wurde die Anlage mit fünf Dinosauriern: Apatosaurus, Edmontosaurus, Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus und Stegosaurus. Später wurde die Ausstellung um Protoceratops sowie Dimetrodon, einen Synapsiden, ergänzt. Sonstiges Die Bewohner von Rapid City waren mit der Stadtpolitik in den 1930er Jahren unzufrieden, da viele kommunale Probleme zu Gunsten neuer Touristenattraktionen vernachlässigt wurden. So stieß auch der Dinosaur Park zunächst auf wenig Gegenliebe und erhielt den spöttischen Beinamen Dam Eye-Sore Park (eye-sore: etwa Schandfleck oder Augenschmerzen).

Federal Prison Camp, Yankton

The Federal Prison Camp, Yankton (FPC Yankton) is a minimum-security United States federal prison for male inmates in Yankton, South Dakota. It is operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, a division of the United States Department of Justice. The prison is situated on the former campus of Yankton College, which operated until 1984. The site was converted to a prison in 1988. FPC Yankton is located 60 miles (97 km) northwest of Sioux City, Iowa, and 85 miles (137 km) southwest of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. In popular culture Forbes magazine rated FPC Yankton one of "Americas 10 Cushiest Prisons" in 2009. In describing the facility, Asher Hawkins wrote, "The winters are tough, and the nearest city of any size is at least an hour away, but Yankton is a standalone minimum-security facility with a staff that's not too tough on prisoners. White-collar cons can take classes in accounting, business administration and business management." In Twin Peaks, Special Agent Dale Cooper's doppelgänger is held at FPC Yankton.
