Half of South Dakota’s governors now have monuments as part of the Trail of Governors initiative.
The foundation, which erects statues of former governors near the state Capitol, is meant to educate tourists about the state’s history through art.
Organizers say the Trail of Governors concept is the only one like it in the country. The statues of Governor’s Warren Green, Nils Boe, and Mike Rounds are set to be placed in various locations in the town of Pierre.
