The Trail of Governors is a project to place life-size bronze statues of every former Governor of South Dakota in Pierre, the state capital. As of 2018, twenty-two statues have been placed. [1]
Statues have been added to the trail each year since 2012:
- 2012: The trail's first statues portrayed Arthur C. Mellette, Harlan J. Bushfield and Walter Dale Miller. [2]
- 2013: Statues were added of Frank Farrar, Harvey Wollman and William J. Janklow.[3]
- 2014: In conjunction with celebrations of the South Dakota's 125th anniversary of statehood, the trail added statues of Robert S. Vessey, Peter Norbeck and George S. Mickelson. [4]
- 2015: New statues were added portraying Charles N. Herreid, George T. Mickelson and Richard F. Kneip.[5]
- 2016: The trail added statues of Warren E. Green, Nils Boe and M. Michael Rounds. [6]
- 2017: Four statues were added to the trail, portraying Tom Berry, Leslie Jensen, Sigurd Anderson and Joe Foss.[7]
- 2018: The most recent additions were statues of William H. McMaster, Merrell Q. Sharpe and Ralph Herseth. [8]
- 2019: Three more statues will be added in the summer of 2019: Samuel H. Elrod, Archie M. Gubbrud and Dennis Daugaard. [9]
Following the 2019 unveiling, six former governors will remain to be added to the trail: Charles H. Sheldon, Andrew E. Lee, Coe I. Crawford, Frank M. Byrne, Carl Gunderson and William J. Bulow, as well as current Governor Kristi Noem.
Sculptors who have created statues for the project include John Lopez, James Van Nuys, James Michael Maher, Lee Leuning and Sherry Treeby.[10]
