About:
About The Dakota Territorial Museum focuses on the history of the Dakota Territory up to Statehood (1889), and Yankton, Yankton County since its conception to current events. Story Yankton's First Official Historical Museum first opened in 1936 in the former Territorial Council Building. A lot has changed over the years. It became obvious in the 1960s that a new building was needed, and on May 30, 1971 the current home of the Dakota Territorial Museum was formerly dedicated. The old museum was eventually converted into the Max Copper Antique Fishing & Outboard Collection. And there is still more ahead for this first museum of Yankton. Th Dakota Territorial Museum is currently closed to the public as we prepare to move to the Mead Cultural Education Center. The premier exhibit and children's museum will open in June 2018. Office are still open and can be reached at 605-665-3898. Mission The Yankton County Historical Society, through the Dakota Territorial Museum, exists to preserve, protect, interpret, and educate the public about the heritage and development of the city and county of Yankton, and the surrounding area. Products Our collections feature Dakota Territorial, Yankton, Yankton County, and the Missouri River Valley history. We have six historic structures on the museum complex in addition to our main building: Territorial Council Building, Gunderson One-Room Schoolhouse, Hovden Log Cabin, Cook Blacksmith Shop, Great Northern Railroad Depot, and a Burlington Northern Railway Caboose. The Dakota Territorial Museum is currently rehabilitating a new home in the Mead Building on the former Human Services Center Campus, Yankton.
