On This Day

February 21

Territorial Gov. Louis Church vetoed a bill to create the Dakota Soldiers’ Home in Hot Springs on this day in 1889. He reasoned no home was needed because Dakota Territory had sent few soldiers to fight in the Civil War and that Hot Springs was far away from the population. The legislature overrode the veto on Feb. 27, and construction began in August.
