Freeman Museum & Archives

The Freeman Museum & Archives is dedicated to the preservation of rare articles used by our ancestors on the way to our standard of living today. It is our desire to leave a record for our children's children to understand and learn from their ancestors.

The Freeman Museum & Archives has over 20,000 items on display, including

• the largest privately owned exhibit of Plains Indian Artifacts on display in South Dakota.
• pioneer buildings: an 1879 pioneer home, a re-created “summer kitchen,” a 1902 rural school house and two rural churches.
• pioneer implements: horse-drawn cultivators, threshing machines, antique tractors, and hand tools.
• transportation displays: 1927 biplane, antique motorcycles, trucks, automobiles, as well as horse-drawn buggies.
• artifacts of pioneer life: tools, household items, clothing.
• examples of daily living, commerce, and spiritual life.
