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.
