The South Dakota State Historical Society Museum in the Cultural Heritage Center in Pierre will open its new exhibit titled "The Great and the Small: Selections from the Collections" on Nov. 6. The exhibit runs through Memorial Day weekend in 2023.
There will be an exhibit preview from 2 to 4 p.m. CST on Nov. 6 with refreshments provided. During the event, visitors can talk with curators about "The Great and the Small" and create their own item to take home.
Historical Society Museum Director David Grabitske says, "Museums--in general and the state, too--collect a vast range of things to represent South Dakota from popcorn wagons to political pins, that come in a wide variety of sizes. Each object has a unique story to tell about the state. Some objects might be familiar, and others might be a surprise."
Artifacts in "The Great and the Small" will range from the Captain 11 television show set to a tiny cat cookie cutter.
