Spirit of South Dakota Vermillion may not be as warm or as tropical as sunny Florida, but it isn’t fondly known as the Miami of South Dakota for no reason. As southeast in South Dakota as you can get and brimming with art, culture, education, food, and history, you’re bound to experience something new (and we just happen to get the best weather in SD too). We’re number one in spirits, cats, and professors in rock bands. We love Vermillion and we know you’ll #LOVermillion too.

WELCOME TO
Vermillion
FROM THE VERMILLION CHAMBER AND DEVELOPMENT COMPANY
No matter what your story might be – whether you’re planning a visit, looking to relocate, or are currently living here – we are thrilled that you are interested in Vermillion, South Dakota. The momentum following Vermillion being awarded South Dakota’s “Community of the Year” in 2014 has not slowed down. Vermillion continues to flourish, innovate, and offer an unmatched quality of life, and is home to a community of passionate, friendly people. This community on the bluffs of the Missouri River is home to the University of South Dakota, the worldrenowned National Music Museum, and ten thousand residents ready to welcome you to our great city! We like to say we’re the Miami of South Dakota — located in the southeast corner of the state, we’re just an hour from the larger communities of Sioux Falls, South Dakota and Sioux City, Iowa, and only two hours from Omaha, Nebraska. No matter what your interests or passions might be, we have something for everyone here in Vermillion. Vermillion thrives as a diverse arts and culture hub in our region. Food lovers will adore the amazing local restaurants located along the street of our historic downtown which boasts in character and charm. We have everything from pizza to coffee to fair trade goods. It’s the kind of place you can get your nails and your finances done on the same block. Shoppers are enthralled by the unique retail shops like Sharing the Dream and Blue Monarch and you will be too! Cherry Street features dozens of bustling businesses to suit many of your needs. Bread and sandwich lovers must stop by Mister Smith’s Café & Catering, featured in Oprah Magazine where the “bread artistry” was named “The Best Bread in the World.” The University of South Dakota, South Dakota’s flagship university, is home to some of the brightest and most talented minds in the country and fantastic Division I athletics. USD is a driving force behind Vermillion’s energy. The University is not only the largest employer in our hometown, but with an enrollment of over 7,000, the student body nearly doubles the city’s population while school is in session! As the flagship university in the state, USD boasts South Dakota’s only law school and medical school. On campus, students learn the value of community and are always looking for ways to get involved. Vermillion is a community of hand-raisers, do-gooders, and show-uppers. It’s a unique place where business owners, artists, retirees, and educators share coffee and conversation on Wednesday mornings; students and farmers eat at the same sandwich shop in the local hardware store; and everyone agrees on three things: #LOVermillion, Go Yotes, and we are the spirit of South Dakota. Please stop by the Chamber Office and say hello! - The VCDC Team

Missouri River
On the water CANOE & KAYAKING The Missouri National Recreational River is only a 15-minute drive from Vermillion, and it’s a great place for experienced paddlers to get out on the water. Head down to Clay County Park, where you’ll find an excellent spot to launch your canoe or kayak. Make sure to wear your safety gear, as the river’s currents are quite strong! Kayaks can be rented from the local Ace Hardware store (812 Cottage Ave).
FISHING There are more than 175 fishing lakes in our area of the state, and thanks to our close proximity to the Missouri River, fishing can easily be a local’s favorite pastime. The best part? The South Dakota fishing season never closes. The annual license is good for year-round fishing, so don’t delay! Get your fishing supplies from Wal-Mart and the Pump ‘N Pack; boat supplies can be found at Mart Marine.

Head north on Highway 19 toward Spirit Mound State Historic Prairie. There you will find a trail which leads to a confirmed Lewis and Clark exploration point.
SNOWSHOEING Boost your winter workout and build up your endurance throughout the winter by snowshoeing! It’s an easy and enjoyable way to get outside during the snowy winter days. All you need is a sense of adventure and some good boots. If you can walk, you can snowshoe! Head down near the Missouri and Vermillion Rivers to find beautiful trails through the nearby forests.
CAMPING Grab a tent (or an RV) and come camp with us! If you are looking to stay within city limits, head down to the corner of Princeton and High Streets and set up your campsite at Lion’s Park. If you are looking to rough it in the great outdoors, Clay County Park is an area favorite for camping.

Arts & Culture
Community Connection Center mural
EÚŋKIČHETUPI: COME BACK TO LIFE Vermillion’s vibrant downtown bespeaks a community blessed by the creative milieu of a university town. Home to prodigious murals by artists Dick Termes and Rick Johns, two new public paintings have recently emerged on the walls of the Coyote Twin Theater. Eúŋkičhetupi, Lakota for “Come Back to Life” was born in community meetings held by lead artists, Reyna Hernandez, Inkpa Mani, and Liz Skye, and assisted by Jenae Porter and USD Assistant Professor Amber Hansen. The mural incorporates varying perspectives from members of the Vermillion community on topics ranging from identity, water, motherhood, landscape, femininity, and the importance of representation. Through conversations with community members, the artists of the mural found importance in creating a space for women, specifically indigenous women.
Together, the mural brings focus to the importance of sharing contemporary indigenous narratives and honoring tradition. The Community Connection Center (CCC) is home to the United Way of Vermillion, the Welcome Table, Vermillion Food Pantry, and other critical services. It is also home to a beautiful, brand new mural. The room that hosts the mural is the Leroy N. Meyer Community Room and it’s the largest room at the CCC. Susan Heggestad was the local teaching artist who led the mural project. The creation of the mural was in part supported by a project grant from the SD Arts Council. The mural is 43.5’x8.5’ and features local landmarks as well as symbols of the community and support.
Visitors can now visit and bear witness to a beautifully completed mural as the second wall was completed in May 2020. Titled Wanáȟča, translated to “Flower that Blooms” from Lakota, the second part of the mural fills a larger area than the first, and serves as the visual introduction to the story depicted in Eúŋkičhetup by portraying a Native woman “breathing life” into the rest of the scene as she braids her hair, which flows into the Missouri River and the water that is the central theme in the first mural.
