Expedition Team: Dave Miller, Rosie Miller

Date: June 18, 2022

Just outside of this small town of 5,600 people is the geographical Center of the United States. In town, behind the visitor center is the geographic center monument, a giant compass 21 feet across made from South Dakota granite.  The compass is ringed with flags from all 50 states.  Beside the compass, we visited the Johnny Spaulding cabin, a Black hills scout, hunter, and pioneer, built in 1876.
