“The Historic Context Document reflects a culmination of research into various themes from Rapid City’s history,” said Sarah Hanzel, City long-range planner. “The document is a starting point for the Commission and the community to explore Rapid City’s history, develop a deeper understanding of specific eras and events and it’s a step in the process of building awareness about the importance and use of history and historic preservation to the Rapid City community.
“History matters as Rapid City looks forward to growth, and seeks to provide a strong quality of life for all its residents and a memorable experience for visitors.”
The project work centers around the question ‘How does an understanding of our past help us achieve our vision for the future?’ and is funded through a grant from the South Dakota State Historic Preservation Office through the National Park Service. The work is conducted with the assistance of Dr. Eric Abrahamson and Dr. Eric Zimmer of Vantage Point Historical Services.
