Broadcaster Press 7 January 1, 2019 www.broadcasteronline.com Cultural Heritage Center Program To Focus On Critical Role Of Early Churches In South Dakota History PIERRE, S.D. – The importance of early churches in the history of South Dakota will be highlighted in a program at the Cultural Heritage Center in Pierre at 7 p.m. CST on Tuesday, Jan. 8, 2019. Everyone is welcome to attend the free program. “Early churches in South Dakota were more than a place of worship. They brought people together and became gathering points in times of celebration or crisis,” said Catherine Forsch, president of the South Dakota Historical Society Foundation. The foundation and the South Dakota Historical Society Press are sponsoring the program as part of the History and Heritage Book Club. The program draws on the book “Early Churches in South Dakota” by Robert W. Sebesta, published in the summer of 2018 by the South Dakota Historical Society Press. The book features photographs and short histories of some churches from each decade from the 1870s to the 1920s, with additional photographs of the more than 650 churches built before 1930 in South Dakota. Guest speakers will be Brad Tennant, professor of history at Presentation College in Aberdeen, and Liz Almlie, historic preservation specialist with the South Dakota State Historical Society. Tennant will focus on ethnic influences and early churches in South Dakota, while Almlie will discuss common church architecture as covered in her essay for “Early Churches in South Dakota.” “During the early settlement of Dakota Territory and South Dakota, it became common for im- bpp b Book 67 Since 1934 Since 1934 2 A listing of New Year’s resolutions made by Vermillion fifth graders.
