Our September/October issue includes a story on Milbank’s downtown. The Grant County community is long known for cheese-making and a big-winged flour mill, but its shopping district is also blooming in a time when many retailers nationwide are struggling. Bernie Hunhoff visited Milbank to meet its entrepreneurs and gather photos. Here are a few shots that we couldn’t fit into the magazine.

Gone to Market
Our September/October issue includes a story on unique items discovered at our farmers markets. Bernie and Katie Hunhoff traveled the state collecting photos and sampling the colorful offerings. Here are some photos that didn’t make the magazine.
Duncan Donuts
Our July/August issue includes a story by Staci Perry on the Flandreau Bakery and Coffee Bar. Two generations of the Duncan family have been baking tasty treats there for 88 years. Perry visited the Duncans to hear their story, sample a few classics and take several photos — too many to print. Here are the ones we couldn’t fit into the magazine.
Pierre’s Treasure
Our May/June issue includes a story on the Treasury Inn, an imposing mansion on North Euclid Avenue in Pierre. The neoclassical home built in 1905 began as the luxurious private residence of A.W. and Caroline Ewert, but slowly declined over the years as a hotel and boarding house. Owen and Shar Gardella purchased the home in 2004 and spent 13 years on a wall-to-wall, roof-to-basement restoration, uncovering surprises like a mural in the dining room and a century-old pouch of letters written to blackmail South Dakota’s state treasurer. Owen, who had significant experience refurbishing old homes in Connecticut, used early photos to help him restore it to its original beauty.
The Gardellas are now offering the Treasury Inn for sale. John Andrews visited the home earlier this year and took several photos for the story. Here are some that didn’t make the magazine.
Oh, The Possibilities!
Architects, artists, city planners and designers from across South Dakota converged in Yankton April 6-8 for Design:SD, an annual exercise to help the chosen community imagine its possibilities. Photos by Bernie Hunhoff.
Restaurant Road Trip
South Dakota has fewer restaurants per square mile than perhaps any other state, but the distance between them only makes our hearts fonder and our appetites stronger. Bernie Hunhoff visited several of our quirky cafes and grills for a story in our January/February issue. Here are some of his photos that didn’t make the magazine.
A Wilder Opportunity
Laura Ingalls Wilder fans from across the globe journey to stay at Prairie House Manor in De Smet. Our November/December issue features a story on the bed and breakfast that is now for sale. Katie Hunhoff took several photos during her visit. Here are a few that didn’t make the magazine.
Restaurant Renaissance
Our September/October issue includes a story on Vermillion’s downtown restaurants. The college town’s hungry citizens have historically enjoyed little culinary variety. There have always been burger joints, and University of South Dakota students thrive on the chicken wings from Leo’s. But the scene began to change a decade ago, and Vermillion is now home to some of South Dakota’s most popular locally-owned restaurants. Bernie Hunhoff’s photos accompanied the story of Vermillion’s restaurant renaissance. Here are a few that didn’t make the magazine.
Royal Opportunity in Centerville
Mount Moriah Winter
Mount Moriah Cemetery, named for the land in Genesis 22, looms directly over Deadwood. Scores of the poor and nameless lie unremembered in pauper’s graves, but most tourists come to read the stones of colorful Deadwood characters like Seth Bullock, Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane. In winter visitors are few and deer feel free to roam and rest there. Photos by John Mitchell.
