For the first time in more than 10 years, admission fees at the Cultural Heritage Center in Pierre are changing– and South Dakota residents will benefit.
As of yesterday (Oct. 1, 2020), all South Dakota residents of all ages will be admitted to the museum at the Cultural Heritage Center free of charge.
Other changes to admission fees include $8 for out-of-state adults ($7 if AAA members) and $6 for out-of-state seniors ages 60-and-older. All adult tour groups will be charged $5 per person as well, regardless of where they are from.
Museum director Jay Smith says they believe they’ll see an uptick in donations from the citizens of South Dakota both at the donation box and through annual giving, membership and other income producers.
Both the museum and archives reopened on June 15, and both continue to observe social distancing while providing other protective protocols during the current pandemic.
The state archives is open by appointment only, Monday through Friday, 9am-4:30pm CDT. Researchers are urged to call 605-773-3804 ahead of time to ensure personal space. The museum is open from 9am-4:30pm Monday through Saturday, and 1-4:30pm on Sundays and most holidays. Call 605-773-3458 for more information about exhibits, special events and upcoming activities.
