Pennant, "Wall Drug, Badlands, South Dakota," 1940-1965
01
Artifact Overview
Wall Drug on the edge of the South Dakota Badlands seems like an odd place for a tourist attraction, but since 1936, when the owners placed signs along the local highway offering free ice water, visitors have not stopped coming. Thousands of over-heated motorists still stop each year to rest, buy a souvenir, and get a cool drink.
