Did you know that before the Children’s Museum of South Dakota opened in 2010, our building was actually a school?
In paying homage to the school, Central Entrance features photos and mementos from school days gone by in addition to other historical artifacts and pieces of significance from the site.
Our building was built in 1936 as the most modern middle school in the state at the time. It was built on the site of the old “Red Castle” school building. In the 1970s, the building became an elementary school. The middle school moved to the old high school building next door (now known as the 1921 Building). We’re pretty excited that children are still learning in our walls through the power of play!
