                     Countless historical sites surround Lake

                     Oahe and illustrate the area’s rich frontier
                     and Native American heritage.



                   Take a drive into the past. Fort Sully,
                   an old military outpost, lies across the
                   Missouri River from Farm Island. North of
                   Pierre, near the city of Mobridge, lies the
                   grave of Sitting Bull, chief of the Lakota
                   Sioux. Sacagawea, the Shoshone Indian
                   woman who served as a translator on the
                   Lewis and Clark expedition, is believed
                   to be buried at nearby Fort Manuel
                   Trading Post. Located east of Pierre on
                   Highway 34, you’ll find Visions of the
                   Past, life-size plasma-cut steel figures.
                   The display includes 10 silhouettes,
                   including riders scouting, a medicine
                   man praying and bison.
