The town of Hot Springs has a reputation as a veterans' community and it's been that way for longer than you might think. The forerunner of what is now the Michael Fitzmaurice State Veterans Home was founded during the 1880s, largely due to the efforts of the many Civil War veterans living in the Territory at the time.
SDPB producer Brian Gevik joins Megan Feighery on In the Moment. He explains how the Veterans home is perhaps the greatest peacetime legacy of South Dakota's Civil War veterans in the state.
