605 Forever Giving Day

Heritage Hall Museum & Archives Campaign

This summer, we are joining a statewide campaign to celebrate “Forever 605 Day.” As one of only 12 states in America with a single area code, South Dakota's 605 has become more than just a number; it‘s a symbol of our shared identity and heritage. We all know “605” is a great place to live and play!

In the spirit of Travel South Dakota‘s Forever 605 campaign, Heritage Hall Museum & Archives is excited to announce our special Forever 605 Giving Day on June 5 (6/05). This day is an opportunity for us to come together to preserve and celebrate the cultural treasures that make our museum so special.

Support the mission of Heritage Hall Museum

As a self-sustaining, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, we rely totally on admissions, memberships and donations in order to operate. We appreciate any and every donation to the work we do, as the collection is vast and the needs are many. Please join us in helping this museum continue our mission “To preserve, educate and foster appreciation for the diverse natural and cultural history of the greater Freeman area, settled largely by Germans from Russia in the 1870s."

Thank you!

Heritage Hall Museum in Freeman, South Dakota tells the story of the German-from-Russia immigrants and others who settled in southeastern Dakota Territory in the 1870s. Our South Dakota museum has over 20,000 historical items on display!
