The South Dakota Hall of Fame is an American award for excellence among South Dakotans. Established in 1974, the South Dakota State Legislature named the organization the state's official hall of fame in 1996. The hall is a museum detailing "acts of excellence", the host of an annual honors ceremony, a statewide K-12 South Dakota History Program, and a Visitor and Education Center in Chamberlain that opened in June 2000. More than 700 South Dakotans have been inducted into the Hall of Fame, and their stories of excellence with supporting media are available online.




Programs


The South Dakota Hall of Fame's main program is the hall of fame itself, called the Legacies of Achievement. About 50 to 70 South Dakotans are nominated every year, and 10 are inducted.
The center also runs the Acts of Excellence program, by which organizations and individuals are recognized for "building a culture of excellence in South Dakota, one act at a time". This focuses on acts that focus on the betterment of society, culture, and quality of life in the state, and is sponsored by Sanford Health. A list of recipients is kept on the South Dakota Hall of Fame website.
