HURON, S.D. — New interactive exhibits at Huron Wetland Management District's headquarters and visitor center offer visitors an immersive look at the wetlands, grasslands, wildlife, and conservation partnerships that define South Dakota's Prairie Pothole Region.

The exhibits were completed in fall 2026 and feature large-scale graphics, hands-on displays, habitat models, and interactive elements designed to connect visitors with the area's unique ecosystems and the conservation efforts that help protect them.  Visitors will be able to gain an understanding of the Prairie Pothole Region's importance to migratory birds and other wildlife, especially the role of wetlands, grasslands, and conservation partnerships.

The project was part of the construction of the district's new headquarters and visitor center near Wolsey and Huron, South Dakota.

The exhibits include tactile and interactive elements to make the messages more accessible to the all the neighbors and partners in the surrounding communities.

The completed project demonstrates how well-crafted exhibits can create engaging educational experiences that support on-the-ground conservation efforts for years to come.
