Brookings, South Dakato: Someplace Special!
South Dakato State University…
Brookings residents are proud of their city. And visitors are quick to
see why. It is a city that offers the best of both small town and big city
living. And while some may smile at the notion of Brookings as a "big
city", by South Dakota standards it is, ranking No. 5 in the state.
Much of Brookings is best toured on foot at a take-your-time, there'sno-need-to-hurry pace. Begin with a stroll through McCrory Gardens.
Stop for a break at the South Dakota State University Dairy Bar for a
taste of the best ice cream in the state. Tour the State Agricultural
Heritage Museum to view exhibits dedicated to the preservation of
objects that had a role in the agricultural history and the rural life of
South Dakota down through the century and a quarter since the state
was settled. View the exhibits at the South Dakota Art Museum which
include such treasures as Harvey Dunn originals, Marghab linens, Native
American art form the Dudeck and Medicine collections, Oscar Howe
paintings, and the works of other state artists.
Other points of interest include the city's historic district, Pioneer Park
Log Cabin, and the Brookings County
Veterans Memorial.
With so much going for it, it's small wonder that Bizjournals.com Demo-graphics
Daily, an online newsletter, listed Brookings
as one of 141 "dreamtowns" across the country. The newsletter rated the quality of life in
632 U.S. cities with populations between
10,000 and 50,000.

Brookings Summer Arts Festival…
If there is one event that really puts Brookings on the map, it's the
annual Brookings Summer Arts Festival held in Pioneer Park on the second weekend in July. This year's festival-the 35th-will officially start at
10 am, Saturday, July 8th, and end at 5 pm Sunday July 9th. Each year,
Pioneer Park is transformed into an outdoor art gallery with fine works
of all types for sale; an open-air antiques road show; an eatery with great
food to please every palate; and a mecca of entertainment for all ages.
About 1000 artists apply for 200 available booth spots, so competition
is fierce, and each years artists must reapply to be in the show. This maintains the standards of high quality.
The festival is now a major regional event, drawing more than 60,000
people each year, and buyers drive hundreds of miles to find new and
unique pieces by their favorite artists.
While art is what pulls the people in, the featured food has become a
major attraction over the years. In addition to basic American grub like
burgers, brats, and fries,
food enthusiasts can find

Lake Benton
Located at the crossroads of the Nation…
(at the junction of highways 14 & 75) Lake Benton is a wonderful
place to find seasonal hunting, fishing, camping, water sports, skiing,
tubing, snowmobiling, hiking plus, wonderful horse trails. It lies in a scenic valley on the shores of beautiful Lake Benton.
Known as the “Original Windpower Capital of the Midwest” the Lake
Benton area sports more than 600 wind turbines that generate electricity for Xcel Energy. They provide a majestic view that is absolutely breathtaking.
The community of Lake Benton is a great place to live and work or just
to visit. Take the time to enjoy its beauty and unique charms. Whether
you’re shopping, dining, enjoying the arts/history or come for the recreation; you’ll always be welcome in Lake Benton.
Lake Benton has a very friendly, relaxed environment. You will find a
variety of activities here. History, recreation, shopping, dining, and the
arts (Lake Benton Opera House) can be enjoyed during any season.
Located on the Buffalo Ridge, Lake Benton is known as the “Original
Windpower Capitol of the Midwest”. Hundreds of wind turbines decorate the landscape surrounding the scenic valley. The city limits of Lake
Benton border the west end of Lake Benton lake. Lake Benton is a seven
mile, 8.875 acre recreational lake. Come enjoy a day of fishing, water skiing, swimming, boating or camping.
Founded in late 1879, Lake Benton was named after the lake which
had been discovered by the exploration of the Nicollet-Fremont party
through the Minnesota-Dakota territory in 1838. General John C.
Fremont, second in command of the party, named the beautiful body of
water “Lake Benton” in honor of his fiancé, Jessie Benton, daughter of a
powerful senator from Missouri, Thomas Hart Benton. Official authorization of the municipality by the State Legislature was October 24, 1881.
During the summer of 1879, the railroad began west of Tracy,
Minnesota. The railroad reached Lake Benton by November of that year.
The first lot, sold as a business, was located on the corner where Lake
Benton Hardware/NAPA is now located. Within a year, several new businesses were established and Lake Benton became a very active, bustling
village.
Lake Benton became

Lake Benton Lake…
Lake Benton Lake: one of the most popular lakes in southern
Minnesota.
It’s no wonder Lake Benton Lake is so well known. This famous lake
has an area of 2,875 acres, making it the sixth largest lake in southern
Minnesota. Fishermen from throughout the upper Midwest come the
year round to catch game fish, including walleye, northern pike, and
large mouth bass. Pan fishermen enjoy catching beautiful yellow perch,
crappies, blue gills, and bullheads.
Fishermen can be seen daily on the lake, in their boats and shore fishing, as they enjoy the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere of a pleasant
summer day. In the winter a “little town” appears as the ice fisherman
arrive with their unique houses. The aeration system, maintained by our
local Sportsmen’s Club, prevents any winter kill of fish. The fertility of
this prairie lake provides the nutrients needed to produce fish that are
above average in size and numbers. Many trophy walleye that are caught
range from 8 to 12 lbs. Walleye weighing 2 to 4 lbs. are common. Many
perch are over 1 lb. and many exceed 2 lbs. in size.
The DNR stocks the lake with more than two million walleye fry every
two years. This is in addition to those produced in the lake itself.
Fishermen aren’t the only ones who enjoy the lake. Boating and water
skiing are always popular in the summertime. Swimmers gather at the
beaches for a day in the sun. In the winter, for a cure of the winter blues,
snow-mobiling is a fun sport.
In addition to sponsoring the fishing tournament, L.I.F.E. is continually involved in projects to improve the water quality of the lake. They
realize that a good lake is not only an asset to the residents who live on
the lake, but it is also an economic asset to the local economy, as well.
Enjoy the Peaceful Beauty for day...a weekend...a week...

until 1879. In September of 1879, the Chicago Northwestern railroad
Company sent John Brandt and ten other men to what is now Tyler.
These men established a depot for the new railroad.
In the fall of 1879 the first village meeting was held. On this occasion
the name Tyler was selected for the village to honor a prominent businessman at the time, C.B. Tyler. C.B. lived in Tracy and Marshall before
passing away on December 15, 1915 in Pasadena, California.
Then on June 1, 1880 the first census was taken. It showed that the
Village of Tyler in Hope
Township contained a
total of 81 people. The
occupations of these people varied from grocer to
carpenter, physician to
salon keeper, and servant
to stone mason, but the
largest group of workers
were farmers.
By the summer of
1887 the small town
doubled its population
from that first census of
81 people to 178 people.
This was the summer
that the Village of Tyler
held its vote for incorporation as a town. Out of

The early Danebod Lutheran congregation needed a place to worship,
so the Stone Hall was built. The Stone Hall was built from rocks out of
Tyler’s Swan Lake (this lake has since been drained and is used for farming land). The Stone Hall was initially used for Sunday services, meetings, funerals, weddings, and gymnastics. Presently, the Stone Hall is
used as a Danish museum.
twenty-two votes, nineteen were for and three were against. Tyler then
became a town with its first president being J.W. Kendall.
Tyler soon provided needed utilities to its citizens and built a water
tower. The first water tower was sold to nearby Ruthton in 1896. A second was built and then was soon sold to Soren Christensen and Jens
Jaspersen in 1910; and the third water tower currently stands today.
Electric lighting in Tyler first came in 1909, but not until ten years
later, 1919, was there twenty-four hour service.

The Stone Hall quickly became too small for the increasing congregation. The current church was then built and dedicated in June of 1895.
This church was built in the shape of a cross and was a copy of a church
in Vallekilde, Denmark.

Fred Swanson Memorial Nature Trail…
The Fred Swanson Memorial Trail was established in 1998. The land
is owned by the DNR, and the DNR gave permission for the Balaton
Public School to convert the land into a nature trail.
Students and volunteers completed all of the work on the trail, which
was named in memory of Fred Swanson, and borders the Swanson farm
on the northeast edge of Balaton.
The parking area for the trail is the wayside rest across U.S. Highway
14 at Knudson-Bosley Memorial Park (Lake Yankton). The trail begins
behind the Colonial Manor Nursing Home.
From its starting point, the Fred Swanson Memorial Nature Trail
winds along Breening’s Slough and Spink Lake and ends where it begins
after winding along Highway 14 and Lake Yankton. The trail is home to
an abundance of wildlife, plants, and flowers. There are plaques along the
trail that identify wildlife highlights.
Due to zoning regulations, the trail must remain in its natural state. It
is open to hunting and trapping during all state-regulated seasons.
Summer Recreation…
The summer recreation program in Balaton runs for approximately
seven weeks from the time school adjourns until mid to late July. During
this time, all children from pre-school through high school have programs available to them.
The primary focus of the summer program involves baseball and slowpitch softball for the K-8 students. Games are held twice a week in the

Tracy began with the expansion of the railroad into the frontier of the
Great Plains. The village of Shetek Bend was formed from the expansion
of the railroad. Shetek Bend was officially dedicated on April 27, 1875
and was located about 2 miles east of where Tracy is today. In honor of
the former president of the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad, Shetek
Bend was later changed to Tracy a few years later. As the railroad indus-

try continued to expand, so did Tracy. By 1883, Tracy was a bustling community and was considered the railroad center for Minnesota’s western
prairie.
With the continued success of the railroad came people and growth to
Tracy. These people were eager to plant their roots and make a new start
in the area.

A Better System of Care
SIOUX VALLEY TRACY MEDICAL CENTER
Tracy continues to honor its conception and the railroad history today
with Boxcar Days. Every Labor Day weekend since 1927 Tracy has celebrated Boxcar Days. This huge event has many fun activities for the
whole family. From mud volleyball, softball, carnival and midway, to the
grand parade held on Labor Day, there is something for everyone of any
age to do!
Tracy’s history has also seen some dark days. On June 13, 1968 Tracy
was decimated by a high F-4 tornado killing 9 people and changing the
lives of many. Out of this tragedy a new and united Tracy emerged.
Thirty-six years later some of the scars are still visible from the tornado
but Tracy is a strong community.
Although Tracy may be considered a small town at 2,268 residents,
they have everything a person needs. Tracy Area Medical Services offers
some of the
regions best,
most advanced
health
care.
They also offer

also the home
of 8 different

lamberton
By Ron Kelsey
In the 1860’s…
Henry Lamberton visualized the railroad pushing westward across the
State of Minnesota and into Dakota Territory in South Dakota. The
farmland of Southwestern Minnesota was rich and could be purchased
for a reasonable price. If the railroad did cross Minnesota there would be
convenient possibilities for shipping the farm products. Therefore, Henry
Lamberton purchased several sections of land in southern Redwood
County and northern Cottonwood County of Minnesota.
In 1872 the railroad reached the Cottonwood River in Redwood
County. A village was established there, then later relocated to prevent
flooding. Henry Lamberton donated the land that became the town of
Lamberton. Since Lamberton donated the land, the village was renamed
Lamberton and a new town was established.
In the years that followed there were tough times for the settlers of the
prairie. From 1873-1877 the grasshoppers or Rocky Mountain Locusts
came, as thick as the black smoke from the chugging train, and devoured
all crops and gardens.
The next disaster to hit the community was an epidemic of black diphtheria. It hit the community during the years of 1879 and 1880 and several children died.
In the 1880’s the blizzards on the prairie were devesting. The snow was
so deep that the trains couldn’t run. The stage coach could not get
through with the mail for months at a time. Supplies that normally
arrived on the train, were in short supply. People learned to make due
with what they had during the long winters.
In 1900, 1902 and 1903 there many smallpox cases. No dances or any
type of public entertainment was allowed during those years.
The difficulty of those years instilled a spirit of strong determination
that has continued to motivate the people of Lamberton today, making
it a progressive community.
The city of Lamberton prides itself in having a successful business district to serve the needs of its residents. Found here are the traditional
businesses of the larger communities, in a small friendly community
atmosphere.

1893. Our 7 room specialty house is decorated
with antiques and handcrafted items including:
• Quilts • Trash to Treasure Makeovers

Education has always played an important role in the community of
Lamberton. Lamberton, at one time, had a “teacher training center” and
is at the present time the home of the Red Rock Central Falcons Jr. and
Sr. High School. Students attend school at Lamberton from Lamberton,
Jeffers, Sanborn and Storden. In addition to a strong academic program
the school offers a wide variety of extra curricular activities. Also housed
at the school is RRC Net, an internet system that serves a large area
around Lamberton. This system provides a “school to work” program for
local students, while giving the local school one of the strongest technology systems in the state.
History is being preserved at Lamberton in the renovation of the city’s
Blacksmith Shop which is
open to visitors on a

Sleepy Eye was established
in 1872 when the railroad
came through. The village
was named for the beautiful
lake which borders on the
north and west. The lake
had been named for the
chief of a band of Sisseton
Dakota, “ISH-TAK-HABA”, or Chief Sleepy Eye, friend to all men. His bones lie beneath the
granite obelisk monument erected in his honor, which stands beside the
historic railroad depot. The restored depot is home to a museum operated by the local historical society.

IN NEW ULM!
“New Ulm: The City of Charm and German Tradition”…
Eighty miles east of Marshall on Highway 14, lies New Ulm. With a
setting in the Minnesota River Valley, it has a slightly different feel than
the other prairie towns of southwestern Minnesota. With more trees and
the bluffs, it even looks different.
Founded as a utopian German community in 1854, it has worked hard
to maintain the traditions of its founders. So much so, that the Federal
Census of 2000 called New Ulm, “the most German city in the United
States.”
With plenty of unique architecture, a recent historic preservation

movement has yielded noticeable
results all around town with several painted and restored buildings –
with more to come!
New Ulm sports an unusually
high number of attractions for a
town of 13,500 people. Visitors
coming for a day-trip can’t possibly see them all but you should
make an effort to take in a few
highlights, which include:
The Hermann Monument…
honors an early Germanic hero who repulsed the Romans in 9A.D.
Climb to the top of the 102’ monument (in summer) and see for miles
up and down the 4-mile wide, lush valley. Later, enjoy the mechanical
figures that come out of the 45’-tall Glockenspiel at 12, 3 and 5pm
every day, located right downtown.
August Schell Brewery…
The newly expanded August Schell Brewery, begun in 1860, welcomes you with an enlarged Visitor Center, Museum and Gift Shop.
