Welcome guests to Adams Homestead and help them make the most of their visit. Volunteers provide information, answer questions, and share knowledge about the park’s history, wildlife, and recreational opportunities.
Spanning 1,500 acres along the Missouri River, this area was donated to the people of South Dakota in 1984 by Mary and Maud Adams, granddaughters of original homesteader Stephen Searls Adams. They envisioned the area as a place where people, particularly youth, could enjoy the land and learn more about the natural world surrounding them. Mary and Maud wanted to give others a "place for inner renewal."
