About the Trail of Governors Foundation
The Trail of Governors is a non-profit group working to celebrate leaders who have shaped South Dakota into the state it is today. The Trail of Governors will be creating and erecting life-sized statues of all past South Dakota governors and forming a “trail” of the statues from the State Capitol grounds to downtown Pierre near the Missouri River.
