Begun in 2000, the City of Presidents project was undertaken by the city and carried out by 6 artists to honor the legacy of the American presidency. Each of the bronze, life-size statues was privately funded and the artists whom were chosen extensively researched the lives of each president so that each statue would give insight into the personality and the presidency of its subject. Before returning to the hotel, we’ll also stop at the outdoor informational signage which provides insight into the two sections of the Berlin Wall that are set here.

On the Road programs are journeys by motorcoach that take participants to multiple study sites in a region with a number of overnight stays. Lectures, talks, discussions, field trips, and on-board commentary amplify the program theme. Some transfers involve great distances and may take hours, others are much shorter. Long or short, On the Road journeys are learning experiences that make the most of our time together. Free time is reserved for your personal independent exploration. Evenings at leisure offer opportunities to make the program more meaningful and memorable through personal independent exploration, engaging in available activities on your own, or simply relaxing and making new friends among fellow participants. The Group Leader will always be happy to offer suggestions. Program activities, schedules, personnel, and indicated distances or times may change due to local conditions/circumstances.

As a testament to their success, Wall Drug signs can now be found all over the world. Take a few minutes to enjoy the extensive Western Art collection with many originals displayed in the restaurant section and locate the actual brands of local ranchers embedded in the wood walls of the dining area. Continuing, we’ll enjoy the beautiful scenery as we drive through Badlands National Park with commentary provided by our Group Leader. The Lakota Indians knew the place as “mako sica” while early French trappers called the area “les mauvaises terres a traverser”; both mean "bad lands." A conservation writer, Freeman Tilden, described the region as "peaks and valleys of delicately banded colors-colors that shift in the sunshine....and a thousand tints that color charts do not show." Palaeontologist Thaddeus Culbertson had another reaction: "Fancy yourself on the hottest day in summer in the hottest spot of such a place without water--without an animal and scarce an insect astir--without a single flower to speak pleasant things to you and you will have some idea of the utter loneliness of the Bad Lands." This area is one of the richest in fossils in the world ranging from the massive rhinoceros, Metamynodon, to a small squirrel-like rodent called Ischromys. Architect Frank Lloyd Wright said this: "I've been about the world a lot, and pretty much over our own country, but I was totally unprepared for that revelation called the Dakota Bad Lands...What I saw gave me an indescribable sense of mysterious elsewhere-a distant architecture, ethereal..., an endless supernatural world more spiritual than earth but created out of it."

The elaborate interior includes marble wainscoting and columns, a terrazzo tile floor, Victorian leaded glass and glass door fixtures that create a grand and distinguished look. Adjacent to the grounds sits Capitol Lake, an artesian lake that serves as a resting place for thousands of migratory geese each fall. Nearby stand the WW II, Korean and Vietnam Memorials, and the flaming fountain that glows perpetually, as a memorial to all veterans. Take a walk past the Fighting Stallions Memorial, built as a lasting tribute to the eight South Dakotan's who lost their lives in a plane crash on April 19, 1993.

Afternoon: After lunch, we’ll see, hear and witness the power of water at Oahe Dam, one of the largest earth-rolled dams in the world, which creates the fourth largest artificial reservoir in the United States. Its primary purpose is supplying hydro electric power to many Midwestern states as well as providing irrigation, recreation, conservation and flood control. Oahe Dam was dedicated on August 17, 1962 by President John F. Kennedy and the word “oahe,” although it was once the name of a Christian mission, is actually a Sioux Native American word meaning "a foundation," or " a place to stand on." Upon arrival at the visitor center, we’ll see a short introductory film and meet our local expert who will lead us through parts of the facility including the spillway, intake units, and the power generating area. Next, we will discover the significance of the Verendrye Plate with a visit to see the monument marking where it was unearthed. This artifact could have claimed the area for France if it was found at an earlier time and, if it was, the history of America could have been quite different. The lead plate was buried on the hillside in present day Fort Pierre around 1742 and was discovered in 1913. It is the first written record of white men visiting South Dakota. Afterwards, we will see the monument that stands at the actual site commemorating where the entire Lewis & Clark Journey could have ended: The Bad River in Fort Pierre, South Dakota.

The 19-story capitol was built in the early 1930s for just $2 million and, as such, it ranks as one of the nation’s most practical and economically built state capitols. This art-deco structure is enhanced by a unique blend of raw materials, including Indian limestone, Montana Yellowstone, Belgian and Tennessee marble, Honduras mahogany, East Indian rosewood, laurel wood, English brown oak and Burma teak.

Morning: Capture the spirit of the West during our expert-led field trip to the Theodore Roosevelt National Park Visitor's Center and TR’s ranch cabin located in the badlands of North Dakota. In 1884, after the death of both his wife and mother, future 26th President Theodore Roosevelt went out to his ranch in the badlands to rebuild his life. The wild lands were a catharsis to him; for about two years, he ranched in the area and noted his experiences in pieces published in eastern newspapers and magazines. Returning east and into politics, Roosevelt would forever associate himself through his extensive writings and memoirs with the vanishing frontier and the life of the cowboy and rancher. The Little Missouri Badlands were explored early in 1924 to determine possible park sites but it wasn't until 1947 that this area became the Theodore Roosevelt National Memorial Park and finally a national park in 1978. The Maltese Cross Ranch cabin was originally located south of Medora. At Roosevelt's request, the one and a half story cabin, complete with a shingle roof and cellar, was built. Constructed of pine logs, the cabin was considered somewhat of a "mansion" in its day with wooden floors and three separate rooms (kitchen, living room and Roosevelt's bedroom). The steeply pitched roof, an oddity on the northern plains, created an upstairs sleeping loft for the ranch hands.

Lunch: At the Schafer Center in Medora. Buffet lunch includes hot entree, salad, side dish(s) and coffee, water and iced tea.

Afternoon: Visit the Château deMores which memorializes the life of the Marquis de Mores and his wife Medora who the town is named after.

We will get an in-depth lesson on how this enormous region influences the local economy, employment rates, and the environment with a focus on the differences between technical extraction methods and production.

Lunch: Enjoy your tasty sack lunch in the small town that is noted for being the "Center of the Nation."

Afternoon: Our next field trip will be to The Devils Tower National Monument, which is described by National Park Information Resources this way: “In 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt proclaimed Devils Tower the first national monument under the new Antiquities Act. About 60 million years ago molten magma was forced into sedimentary rocks above it and cooled underground. As it cooled, it contracted and fractured into columns... Over millions of years, erosion of the sedimentary rock exposed Devils Tower… The Tower rises 867 feet from the base and stands 1,267 feet above the river and 5,112 feet above sea level. The area of its tear-drop shaped top is 1.5 acres and the diameter of its base is 1,000 feet.” This unique formation, revered by many Lakota tribes, was also featured in Steven Spielberg’s 1977 science fiction film “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” If you wish to, enjoy the 1.3 mile Tower Walk independently on a paved path and look for various species of birds such as blue-birds, chickadees, jays, woodpeckers, robins, meadowlarks, vultures, hawks, Bald Eagles and wild turkeys.
