Today, day three of our journey, was a day of three visual delights. We began by touring the Spam Museum in Austin, Minnesota. Then we explored a Prehistoric Indian Village and Excavation in Mitchell, South Dakota, and finally took time to view Dignity, a massive beautiful monument near the Missouri River, still in SD.
Did you know that Spam is very popular in Hawaiian but the most Spam per capita is eaten in Guam. The museum is full of history of WWII. Spam was created in !937 but became widely used during that war and subsequent ones.
The Prehistoric relics were excavated in the Mitchell SD area, and the Excavation site, partly shown here, has been preserved and enclosed in a large domed building. The museum, in a different building contained a great variety of relics from this tribe who lived in the area about 1000ad.
This huge statue, located at the Chamberlain visitors center, overlooking the Missouri River, is named Dignity. Truly awesome.
