Details

Once slated for demolition, the 1905 Opera House now stands proudly on the corner of Dakota and First Street in Wessington Springs, population 974. Financing was used for heating and cooling systems to permit year round use of the facility. The opera house is the only stage in town and serves the community and school as a venue for performing arts, movies and other events, adding to the quality of life in rural areas.
