Section 2 | Historical Context
The critical need for recreational facilities for NPS and Cedar Pass Lodge employees was addressed through the addition of a volleyball net, and square and round dances held on a weekly or more frequent basis as desired. Nature trails received new signage and directional stakes at the trailheads and along the route. At the Visitor Center too, several routed plastic information signs were added, including a clock with hands announcing the next showing of the audio-visual program. The small amphitheater, with a seating capacity of 170, was overcrowded and in need of rehabilitation because of increased use of the campground. At the Visitor Center too, the audio-visual room became inadequate with its 300 seating capacity and renovations became a priority. In 1964, the park acquired Millard’s Lodge and cabins, and immediately leased them as a concessionaire facility to be managed by the Oglala Sioux Park and Recreation Authority.
