The Town of Valley Springs

Valley Springs, South Dakota isn't too far from Sioux Falls, just about 20 miles East. The town also has some unique history like how long time resident Adeline M Jenney would be named South Dakota’s second Poet Laureate. You can imagine my surprise when I read that along with an excerpt from a poem of hers on the historical marker itself. I guess I am just in my South Dakota Poet Laureate phase with historical markers. Valley Springs also was ravaged by a tornado, twice! Check out the episode for more.
