Dakota Spirit Fountain
Free
4th Street & Broadway Avenue
Keep Yankton Beautiful
presented this
fountain to the City of
Yankton in 2006. The
fountain reconnects
Yankton with its past
of being called “The
Fountain City”. This
fountain fittingly
called “Dakota Spirit” was sculpted out of one
solid 18 ton block of South Dakota granite
from Milbank. The fountain appears to be
made of many layers. These layers represent
all the different people that make up South
Dakota’s past and present.
