South Dakota became a state in 1889, and between 1905 and 1910, the capitol building in Pierre, South Dakota, was built after a long campaign by the city of Pierre to become South Dakota’s capital city.

A 96 foot high open rotunda is featured on the second floor of the building.   The rotunda is decorated with 16 images of the Tree of Life, as well as acanthus leaves and a pasque flower, the South Dakota state flower.

On the third floor of the capitol building you will find the House of Representative and the Senate, both of which have viewing galleries on the fourth floor.
