The small prairie town of Wessington Springs gets its name from the natural springs that still flow through the town park, and the landscape has been drawing people here for centuries.
There’s plenty packed into this little corner of the prairie, too.
🌿 See the natural springs that gave the town its name.
🎭 Step inside the beautifully restored 1905 Opera House.
🌹 Wander South Dakota’s first Shakespeare Garden, complete with plants mentioned in Shakespeare’s works.
🏡 Find a replica of Anne Hathaway’s English cottage, thatched roof and all, sitting right in the middle of South Dakota.
And then there are the Wessington Hills themselves, marking a natural transition between eastern and western South Dakota, farming and ranching country, and tallgrass and shortgrass prairie.
A small town with a surprisingly long list of things to see.
