Executive Summary In 2018, the Rapid City Historic Preservation Commission (RCHPC, “the Commission”) engaged Vantage Point Historical Services, Inc. to assist with the updating of its Historic Preservation Plan and Historic Context Document. This project evolved into a three-year strategic planning and updating initiative. It included multiple public outreach and community engagement efforts and the development of a series of research and survey assets that focused on the histories of racial, ethnic, and religious groups that have called Rapid City home before and throughout the city’s history; the environmental history and public memory of the community; and the expansion of the built environment during the postwar boom between 1945 and 1972 when a devastating flood marked a critical turning point in Rapid City’s history. Overall, this work has strengthened the Commission’s understanding of Rapid City’s history and articulated a vision for the role the Commission, history, and historic preservation planning can play in the Rapid City community. This Historic Context Document reflects the culmination of the research into various themes and developments from Rapid City’s history. It is designed to be used alongside the Preservation Plan (2021) as the RCHPC and the Rapid City community undertake the strategic goals and priorities outlined therein. This document is not a comprehensive history of Rapid City. Rather, it was designed to serve as a factual and interpretive asset from which the Commission and the community can continue to Figure 3: This screenshot from a community outreach webinar in June 2020 speaks to the RCHPC's efforts to think broadly about places and spaces explore recurring themes in that are significant to Rapid City's history. the city’s history and develop a deeper understanding of specific eras and events. It is a step in the process of building awareness about the importance and utility of history and historic preservation to the Rapid City community as it looks forward to growth and seeks to provide a strong quality of life for residents and a memorable experience for visitors. The project that produced the Historic Context Document and Historic Preservation Plan was conducted in collaboration with the RCHPC and members of the Rapid City community in order to build upon the work of previous commissions and community advocates to connect the interests of the local community to the RCHPC’s strategic goals and priorities. This Historic Context Document was also developed in accordance with the principles, priorities, and best practices of the South Dakota State Historic Preservation Rapid City Historic Preservation Commission 6 Historic Context Document – May 2021 Office (SHPO) and the National Park Service (NPS). It has also been shaped by recent developments in historic preservation, including the Historic Urban Landscapes (HUL) framework adopted by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 2011. HUL promotes the incorporation of built and natural elements of a community into historic preservation planning and encourages communities to understand diverse human experiences as key elements of local history. Viewing Rapid City’s history through myriad lenses, and thinking broadly about the relationship between people, landscape, and structures, this Historic Context Document provides a key asset to support the RCHPC in coming years.

Rapid City Historic Preservation Commission 7 Historic Context Document – May 2021 Section B. Introduction The Rapid City Historic Preservation Commission (RCHPC, “the Commission”) is comprised of citizen volunteers dedicated to identifying, protecting, and educating the public about cultural resources and historic sites in and around Rapid City, South Dakota. Staffed by and housed within the City of Rapid City’s Community Development Department, the RCHPC is a local manifestation of a national and international historic preservation community that also includes state and federal agencies, municipal and regional planners, cultural resource management professionals, businesspeople, academics and educators, non-profit organizations, Figure 5: Most of the properties in Rapid City on the National Register of property owners, activists, Historic Places are located in or near the West Boulevard Historic District craftspeople, and others. or the Downton Historic District. Map: Rapid City Community Development Department, 2020. Since the 1970s, the Commission has undertaken a number of projects to produce planning documents, survey historic properties and districts, nominate properties to the National Register of Historic Places, and engage property owners and community members about the importance of history and historic preservation to the local and regional communities.

  • Full Investigations and Windshield Surveys
    Appendix 2: Full Investigations and Windshield Surveys During Phase III of the update project, the RCHPC sponsored the creation of nine focused investigations that explored specific aspects of Rapid City’s history. Each essay is available in full below. Each includes samples of historical documentation from newspapers and local archives as well as photographs of buildings and spaces relevant to each topic that still exist in Rapid City. The Ridgeline and the Creek: Landscape and Memory in Rapid City The Black Hills formed when a large, oblong section of igneous rock lifted through the earth’s mantle some 65 million years ago, breaking through the limestone crust to expose the large, stone center of the Hills. In and around this central ring, forests thick with ponderosa pines, blue spruce, and cedar trees cropped up. They intersperse in meadows with prairie grasses and shrubs and are home to an array of animals including deer, elk, beavers, squirrels, raccoons, skunks, rabbits, and more. Bison, grizzly bears, wolves, mountain lions, and coyote once inhabited the vast prairies surrounding the Black Hills. Most of the large predators and most of the bison were killed off or pushed out as Euro-Americans displaced early Indigenous inhabitants. Rapid City grew up at the vertex of water and stone. A long, narrow ridgeline juts from south to north. Residents can look up at the ridge from any side of town or peer down over the vast distance visible from Skyline Drive or Highway 16. The ridge forms the backbone of the Rapid City landscape and includes two main parts from south the north: Hangman’s Hill, which is traversed by Skyline Drive, and Cowboy Hill, which begins immediately north of Rapid Creek.

  • VPHS RCHPC Draft Essay Ri
    The Ridgeline and the Creek Landscape and Memory in Rapid City Executive Summary For millennia, the natural resources and allure of the Black Hills have drawn people to the region to hunt, explore, pray, recreate, and live in and around what is now Rapid City. The community sits where the open prairie meets rocky hills and thick forests. For generations, area residents have shaped their lives, in terms of both work and play, in response to the opportunities and limitations presented by these surroundings. High ridges on Skyline Drive and Cowboy Hill, flowing waters in Rapid Creek and Canyon Lake, and pine forests and grasslands fill the city limits. Rapid City’s scenery attracts visitors and transplants to the area. Although connections to place are articulated through different cultural and spiritual lenses, many residents feel a strong connection to the landscapes, waterscapes, and skyscapes in and around Rapid City. The settlement of Rapid City was part of the imposition of Euro-American land ethics onto the Northern Plains. Throughout Rapid City’s history, as in much of the American West, competition for land and natural resources has fueled tensions over public and private management, industry and development, and preservation and conservation. These tensions have shaped and reshaped the landscape even as natural forces have altered the environment through slow processes like erosion or climate change, as well as sudden disasters like floods, fires, and blizzards. The landscape that endures, reflected in public parks and open spaces, has played a critical part in building and sustaining community identity and character. In many cases, it has been preserved by private citizens and public policymakers at the behest of their constituents.

Our Activities Committee has done a very nice job of filling our calendar with interesting rides of varying lengths. They have really listened to the chapter and responded to what the membership wants. The results are shown in the popularity of the local rides. And what can I say about the long distance rides? Other chapters are even copying our rides, down to the same routes and hotels. As Bill E says, “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.” (Well, he might not have actually said that, but I’m sure he would agree!) Our chapter is gaining a reputation for our enthusiasm and our focus on our core mission of riding and having fun. One indicator of our enthusiasm is how we all come out to the large events we put on our calendar. Last month we had the May Ride and the San Diego HOG Spring into Summer Poker Run. Our chapter came out in force and won the chapter challenges at both events. On a special note, Clint A of the May Ride actually named the May Ride chapter challenge after our own Tom M.

My sisters and I were so used to packing up and hitting the road in the family station wagon (later a minivan), that our childhood trips blur together. Oftentimes we visited our paternal grandparents in Sidney, Nebraska, or our maternal grandparents in Lincoln, Nebraska. But on special occasions we would take lengthy road trips that ended with destinations in the Appalachian Mountains, the Gulf of Mexico, Yellowstone National Park, and Myrtle Beach. As an ―East River‖ South Dakotan, driving six hours west to visit the Black Hills was hardly as exciting as going to the beach.

  • Dinosaur Tracks 2011
    The Early Cretaceous (late Berriasian) Bückeberg Formation in the southern Lower Saxony Basin, to Annette Richter, Mike Reich (Eds.) the west and to the south of Hannover, yields abundant and diverse dinosaur tracks, known since the late 1870s. After a few decades of pioneering and discovery, this area was scientifi cally neglected for a long time concerning dinosaur tracks and tracksites, and only single sporadic fi nds were reported in the second half of the 20th century. During 2007 and 2008, a new tracksite was discovered in Dinosaur Tracks 2011 Obernkirchen, yielding an astonishing amount of new and well-preserved dinosaur tracks, cared for by the Hannover State Museum and its cooperational partners. The present volume contains the An International Symposium, abstracts of lectures and posters presented during the Dinosaur Track Symposium 2011 as well as Obernkirchen, April 14-17, 2011 excursion and collection guides. On behalf of the Schaumburger Landschaft, this symposium was held at the medieval Stift Obernkirchen, Germany, from April 14th to 17th, 2011. Nearly one hundred Abstract Volume and Field Guide to Excursions palaeontologists, biologists, geologists and other scientists from sixteen countries participated. Annette Richter, Mike Reich (Eds.)
