Welcome to the Smith Zimmerman Museum
|
The Smith Zimmermann museum (Lake County Historical Society) works to conserve Lake County's past. We work to communicate our county's narratives and to connect people with the history of Lake County in a meaningful way.
Being a part of South Dakota’s history, the Lake County Historical Society was established in 1952 to preserve the history of Lake County, the Historical Society grew to become the Smith Zimmermann Museum in 1961. We have and will continue to play an important role in the historic preservation and education of Lake County. Madison's physical environment, being situated between two glacial-formed lakes, has always had a strong appeal for outdoor enthusiasts. Many parks offer opportunities for picnicking, biking, hiking and jogging. Fishing, boating, hunting and golfing are popular recreational pursuits in the area. There is also snowmobiling and cross-country skiing in the winter. Nearby Lake Herman State Park and Walker's Point State Park offer excellent camping facilities. We strive to keep the memory of Lake County’s history alive and to remember those that came before us! |
