Our Mission

Museum South Dakota

A History of the Greater Freeman Community

Lured by the Homestead Act of 1862, settlers from Lutheran, Reformed, Hutterite, Amish and Mennonite backgrounds brought with them their religious traditions, strong work ethic, and determination to survive the hardships of life on the prairie. 


Pioneer stories and artifacts narrate the difficulties of living on the plains and the gradual building up of the community that is now Freeman, South Dakota.
