The Local Lou podcast began with its host's curiosity. Lori Kent wondered about the accuracy of a historical marker near her home in Sioux Falls.
She read the marker, researched it and told its story on her podcast. For "In the Moment," Kent takes SDPB's Lori Walsh on a tour of three markers near the Old Courthouse Museum.
We learn about a presidential visit, the divorce colony and a wrongful hanging.
Craig Howe runs the Center for American Indian Research and Native Studies, or CAIRNS. He offers traveling seminars that seek to equip history lovers with a critical lens.
He describes the structure of his workshops and what to look for while reading a historical marker.
Plus, Bernie Hunhoff traveled the state to ask "what's worth saving?" for South Dakota Magazine. He talks about the historic buildings he toured and the people working to preserve them.
