Museum on Main StreetThe Smithsonian Institution offers a traveling exhibit through the South Dakota Humanities Council called Museum on Main Street, a collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution and state humanities councils across the country. Support for Museum on Main Street has been provided by the United States Congress. In 2008-2009, SDHC brought the exhibit “Between Fences” to the state. The traveling musical exhibit "New Harmonies: Celebrating American Roots Music," is the latest Museum on Main Street program to come to South Dakota. For more information on the Smithsonian’s Museum on Main Street, please visit www.museumonmainstreet.org.
