THE ROOTS of SPEARFISH\nPART 1: RESILIENCE
Advertisement
When Spearfish was founded in 1876, most Black Hills settlements were little more than “camps”, temporary towns expected to disappear when the gold ran out, or the next fire drove residents away. Spearfish had other ideas.
$20.00 | 421 Meier Avenue | no walk-ins | choice of: 2 pm or 7 pm lecture + discussion
This lecture series was developed exclusively for the Spearfish Museum by Paul Higbee, who will lead each lecture and facilitate a discussion following the presentation.

He graduated from Black Hills State University and the University of Notre Dame and is a member of the Spearfish Historical Society.
