Sioux Falls Bicycle Master Plan [+]
Sioux Falls has been a leader in the development of urban trail systems. The greenway trail, developed in the 1970's, was a pioneer of the trails movement. Now, 30 years later, the greenway remains one of Sioux Falls' defining features.
But did you know that Sioux Falls also has a supplemental network of bicycle trails throughout the city that connect neighborhoods to the greenway? As the City grows, it becomes increasingly important to identify future trails and corridors.
To address these emerging recreation and transportation needs, the City of Sioux Falls completed a Bicycle Master Plan. This program details the recommendations made to that master plan.

History of the Falls [+]
The natural beauty of the Falls of the Big Sioux River gave the city of Sioux Falls its name and has been a beacon to people for thousands of years.
The magnificence and power of water rushing over the prehistoric quartzite rock has attracted many groups including Native Americans, land prospectors, soldiers and settlers. In pioneer days the Falls were tapped for water power to run the Queen Bee Mill, Drake Springs Polishing Works and others. The Falls have been revered, celebrated, abused, neglected, refurbished, and ultimately revered again.
Through it all the Falls have stood the test of time, changed only by Mother Nature’s slow hand and mankind’s need of industry. This is the story of the Falls of the Big Sioux River.

Battleship X - The USS South Dakota [+]
Because of the World War II exploits against the Japanese in the South Pacific, this mighty battleship became a legend before she was a year old. She caught the fancy of the American people when her heroics were reported in newspapers under the titles of "Battleship X" and "Old Nameless". “Old Incredible” would be an equally appropriate name for her.
Life aboard the South Dakota was filled with moments of terror followed by days of restless uncertainty. The men who called the South Dakota their home knew she could take a beating and still get them back to port. They also recognized that their captains were experienced sailors who knew how to handle the mammoth ship through the fiercest of battles and how to weather the mightiest of storms.
Most warships are built for an active career of 20 or 30 years. The USS South Dakota was in commission less than five. In that short lifetime she covered herself with more honors and glory than most ships realize in much longer periods of service. She truly was a legend before she was a year old.
Vacationing in America [+]
Vacationing in America has developed greatly over the last 150 years. Originally a privilege for only the very wealthy, early vacations and periods of relaxation took place at spas where the sick would go to "take the waters," and activities for their healthy family members abounded. With the growth of the middle class at the end of the 19th century, more people began to visit spas and other nearby destinations, though usually through less-expensive means. As more Americans began traveling, the market and demand for vacations grew.
With the advent of railroads, vacation leave for workers, and the forty hour work week, the possibility of traveling across the continent became a reality. Railroads helped develop America's national parks as an enticement for people to travel on their lines. They also introduced much of the West to the rest of the country. By the early 1900s, with the invention of automobiles and the newly-built roads to drive them on, vacations became a more personal experience as people chose exactly when, where, and for how long they wanted to travel. This program, along with The Old Courthouse Museum's "Vacationing in America" exhibit, explores these patterns of early vacations in the United States, showing that, while methods have changed, the desire to travel, relax, and explore new and different places has remained the same.
