his was a significant year for the Trail of Governors with the addition of three more governors adding up to 22 life-size bronze governor statues now featured in South Dakota’s capital city. TMany have heard the story of the trail’s start: This project began during a conversation along downtown Pierre Street. Fellow Pierre businessmen Leroy Foster and Rick Jensen conjured up the idea of this trail to laude South Dakota’s governors. The project was soon launched with zero funds but five other eager volunteers. Now, just eight years later, funds from generous do- nors are being invested in South Dakota’s unique history lesson. The Trail of Governors Foundation does not have any staff. It has no office and no phone. What it does have are seven determined volunteer board members, each with a fervent wish to see this trail become reality. The foundation has a handful of enthusiastic advisors from the area and around the state that are devoted to making this project happen. Donors for this ambitious project hail from throughout the state and across the United States. Governor families and friends from throughout the country support the trail with generous donations and great enthusiasm. Each bronze statue costs the Trail of Governors Foundation $72,000. Those contributing one-quarter or $18,000 of a statue receive naming rights on that statue’s plaque. All donations are tax-deductible. The foundation has raised more than $1.7 million dollars for the statues at this point. We have raised $20,450.29 endowment funds. That means we have about $500,000 left to finish funding 31 governors’ statues on the trail. We have made some terrific progress in just eight years, and we are hopeful that generous donors will help us reach the finish line within the next three years. The focus will then shift to the future, as governors leave the governor’s office. The trail’s 2018 unveiling ceremony held in the Capitol Rotunda on June 15 honored three impressive leaders: Govs. William McMaster, M.Q. Sharpe and FOUNDATION’S 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Ralph Herseth. Each governor led our state through challenges and victories. Each made personal sacrifices to make South Dakota stronger. We honor these three stellar governors for their legacies. We thank them for their service. We want GovernorM. Michael M.Q. Rounds Sharpe - 31st – 17th Governor Governor of South of South Dakota Dakota others to remember them. Always. That is what this trail is all about. 2018 Trail of Governors Annual Report
Gov. William McMaster Gov. McMaster, our state’s 10th governor, served the state from 1921 to 1925. His bronze statue sculpted by artist James Van Nuys is located downtown in Pierre at the corner of Pierre Street and Sioux Avenue. The 1920s leader sits on a bench with one arm slung over the back and a gas can at his feet. McMaster tells the story of the governor’s efforts to pull back the spiking gas prices of that post-war era with an innovative and effective solution.

Gov. M.Q. Sharpe Gov. Sharpe left a large mark on our state with his work on the Missouri River dams, resulting in the wildlife and water adventure playground now enjoyed by many, in addition to providing hydro-electric energy. Sharpe was our state’s 17th governor, serving from 1943-1947. Sharpe’s statue was created by the artist team of Lee Leuning and Sherri Treeby, and shows the governor in 1940s outdoors garb holding a northern pike fish. His statue is fittingly placed on the shores of Lake Sharpe in downtown Pierre by the American Legion Post 8 Cabin.

Gov. Ralph Herseth Gov. Ralph Herseth was in office during 1959-1961 as South Dakota’s 21st governor. Herseth was a farmer and his statue within view of the Capitol, at the corner of Broadway Avenue and South Dakota Boulevard, shows the farmer Herseth leaning against a fence post and looking off in the distance as though imagining what projects he’d tackle first once elected as governor. Herseth’s statue was created by artist James Michael Maher.
