About Open May thru September. Learn the story of Mennonite, Hutterite, Reformed, & Lutheran immigrants who settled in the Freeman area! Story Heritage Hall Museum & Archives tells the story of German-Russian immigrants who came to Dakota Territory in the 1870s. Lured by the Homestead Act of 1862, settlers from Lutheran, Reformed, Hutterite and Mennonite backgrounds brought with them their religious traditions, strong work ethic, and determination to survive the hardships of life of the prairie. Pioneer stories and artifacts narrate the difficulties of living on the plains and the gradual building up of the community that is now Freeman, South Dakota. Our museum also offers visitors the opportunity to tour a number of restored and furnished outdoor buildings. Sit at a desk in the one-room school house, peer into the Russian oven of an 1879 pioneer home, and admire the simple elegance of two early rural churches. Conclude your visit by walking through the native trees and grasses of the neighboring Prairie Arboretum. Mission The Heritage Hall Museum & Archives is dedicated to the preservation of rare articles used by our ancestors on the way to our standard of living today. It is our desire to leave a record for our children's children to understand and learn from their ancestors.
