WELCOME TO

Vermillion

FROM THE VERMILLION AREA CHAMBER AND DEVELOPMENT COMPANY

Welcome to Vermillion, where small-town charm abounds and there’s always plenty to do.

Whether you’re planning a visit, looking to relocate, or currently living here, we invite you to stop by the Vermillion Area Chamber and Development Company. We are located at 2 East Main Street, Suite 101 (that’s the 2nd floor!) in historic downtown Vermillion. And, if you haven’t already, download the official LiveVermillion app for business listings, calendars, and updates on area events.

TODAY

When you visit Vermillion, you'll experience a friendly small town that will call you back again and again. Vermillion is home to over 11,000 people and the University of South Dakota—the state’s flagship liberal arts University—which also hosts the state’s only medical school and law school.

While you’re here, take in the arts, museums, murals, and natural beauty of the Vermillion Area. See the world-renowned National Music Museum, home to five centuries worth of musical instruments, and hike the historic Spirit Mound, a confirmed stopping point on the Lewis & Clark expedition. Camp in town or along the Missouri River, and fish, hunt, hike, and bike to your heart’s content out at Clay County Park. And, with an array of community events, concert series, sports tournaments, social service organizations, and volunteer opportunities, there’s never a shortage of things to do if you look.

OUR HISTORY

Vermillion is one of the oldest cities in South Dakota. The present site of Vermillion was first visited by French fur traders at the close of the 18th century. On August 24, 1804, Lewis and Clark camped at the mouth of the Vermillion River and from there made their trek to Spirit Mound. Afterward, numerous trappers and fur traders went up and down the river, and the Columbia Fur Company established a trading post at the river’s mouth. By 1860, the Yankton Sioux were forcibly moved to government lands and the Dakota Territory was opened to homesteaders. Vermillion grew and became a thriving community. The University of South Dakota was established in 1862 at the first meeting of the Territorial Legislature and is central to modern-day Vermillion.

WELCOME FROM

the Mayor As mayor of Vermillion, I am honored to welcome you to our city! Vermillion is a small community on the rise—renowned for its friendly people, historical significance, beautiful location, and area attractions. Whether you’re spending time with friends and family, attending a conference or an event, moving here, or just passing through, we’re sure you’ll find Vermillion a unique and exciting town.

Vermillion abounds with parades, festivals, sporting events, and historic celebrations. From the Shakespeare Festival to the Clay County Fair, from Ribs, Rods, and Rock N’ Roll to our very own Thursdays on the Platz summer music series, there is something for everyone in Vermillion. If you like history, visit the National Music Museum, the W.H. Over Museum, and the Austin-Whittemore House. Enjoy our local art with the Oscar Howe Gallery, the First Dakota National Bank Coyote Gallery, the University Galleries, or take a stroll in our historic downtown to view our community murals and sculpture walk. Take advantage of Vermillion’s outdoors by picnicking at Clay County Park or Cotton Park, hiking Spirit Mound, swimming at Prentis Plunge, golfing at The Bluffs, or kayaking the Missouri National Recreational River.

Vermillion boasts a variety of restaurants to suit any taste, as well as charming and unique small businesses and retail opportunities. The beating heart of Vermillion is our historic downtown, which recently got a new facelift to include benches, pedestrian areas, and greenery. In Vermillion, you can grab a coffee, buy gifts and clothing, go to dinner, and see a movie all within a two-block radius. When you are done downtown, don’t forget Cherry Street, where you can go grocery shopping, fuel up, or check out a home with one of our realtors.

Our community is committed to upholding an outstanding quality of life. We look forward to your visit, and I guarantee you’ll agree that Vermillion is a great place to play, stay, live, work, and raise a family. Welcome to Vermillion!

Mayor Jon Cole

Serving Vermillion, 2022 - 2026

ON THE TOWN

Dining Vermillion’s eateries offer a plethora of tasty meals, delicious treats, specialty coffees, cocktails, and beers and wines that are sure to delight the palette.

Start your day off right with a coffee from The Bean Community Coffeehouse—we recommend the Yote Blend, The Bean’s specialty roast. For elaborate lattés and pastries, check out Café Brulé, which is also a great place to get breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

If pizza is what you’re after, El Fredo’s is known for their incredible pies! Dakota Brick House also has a fantastic handtossed pizza option, though we would be remiss if we didn’t also mention their eclectic food menu that will satisfy any craving.

Speaking of eclectic menus, Cee Cee’s 605 Scratch Kitchen & Bar is the place to go for creative entrées, appetizers, and cocktails.

For wine tastings and lunch specials, look no further than Valiant Vineyards Winery & Distillery—South Dakota’s oldest winery!

If you love sports, cold beer, and wings, Old Lumber Company, Leo’s Sports Bar & Grill, Bunyans, and Main Street Pub have everything you need, and for a quick burger or pizza, Charcoal Lounge is the place to go. For authentic Asian cuisine, head to Silk Road Café for dumplings, curries, noodles, and traditional Korean and Japanese dishes.

While it might be a little off the beaten path, Whimp’s Steakhouse in Burbank, South Dakota is worth driving out to. If you’re out the other direction, stop by Toby’s Lounge in Meckling, South Dakota for their famous chicken. Want to stay in town? Hartford Steak Co. Tavern has a great steak menu.

Stop in on a weekday for the best steak deal around: a 6 oz. filet mignon and sides for only $12.95!

After dinner, experience Vermillion’s nightlife with staples like Carey’s Bar—celebrating 70 years in business in 2024!—and The Varsity Pub. Be sure to check out Vermillion’s new brewery, XIX Brewing Company, for beers like the Big Coat Milk Stout and the local favorite Windswept IPA.

ON THE TOWN

Public Art COMMUNITY MURALS Vermillion is a thriving arts community, and some of the most celebrated pieces in Vermillion’s oeuvre are the murals adorning our historic downtown. These murals represent the spirit of Vermillion, from the Coyote Twin Pocket Park Mural—inspired by Vermillion sights and pastimes—to the Wanáhča and ˇ wrap murals—showcasing idenEúŋkičhetupi tity, femininity, and motherhood—to the new Vermillion Pride mural adorning the west side of Café Brulé.

Coyote Twin Pocket Park Mural

While you’re here, take a stroll and see all seven of these masterworks!

Coyote Twin Pocket Park Mural (10 E. Main) Wanáhča and Eúŋkičhetupi (10 E. Main Alley) Spirit to Work Upon (25 W. Main West Wall) Pride Mural (24 W. Main West Wall) CCC Mural (Indoors, 9 Court St.) Missouri Weave (2 E. Main West Wall)

Vermillion Pride Mural SCULPTURE WALK

In 2015, Vermillion joined the sculpture walk project, a program in which sculptures are installed in public spaces for a period of two years. Our sculpture walk is located along the streets of historic downtown and on the University of South Dakota campus. New sculptures will be installed May of 2024, and a new installation location will be added on the corner of Main and Court Streets outside of Cee Cee’s 605 Scratch Kitchen & Bar. One sculpture—Suddenly by Chris Wubbena— has become a permanent addition to downtown Vermillion.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS

The Great Outdoors On Land

On the Water

HIKING

CANOEING & KAYAKING

In town, check out the Vermillion River Trail, which follows the Vermillion River, passes through Cotton Park, and continues via an underpass for a final rail-with-trail section.

Looking to explore the outer reaches of Vermillion? Head north on Highway 19 to hike Spirit Mound for a stunning view of the prairie all around!

DISC GOLFING

Head down to Barstow Park on Cherry Street to enjoy the 10-basket course. You can also play a round at Prentis Park on Clark Street (also 10 baskets) and enjoy time outside with friends and family.

HUNTING

South Dakota is renowned worldwide for its pheasant hunting, and our close proximity to the Missouri and Vermillion Rivers attracts a diverse collection of wildlife. Check out the South Dakota Game, Fish & Parks website for key season dates.

SNOWSHOEING

Boost your winter workout and build up your endurance throughout the winter by snowshoeing! Head down near the Missouri and Vermillion Rivers to find beautiful trails through the nearby forests.

20

The Missouri National Recreational River is only a 15-minute drive from Vermillion, and it’s a great place for experienced paddlers to get out on the water. Head down to Clay County Park, where you’ll find an excellent spot to launch your canoe or kayak. Make sure to wear your safety gear, as the river’s currents are quite strong! Kayaks can be rented from the local Ace Hardware store (812 Cottage Ave).

FISHING

There are more than 175 fishing lakes in our area of the state, and thanks to our close proximity to the Missouri River, fishing can easily be a local’s favorite pastime. The best part? The South Dakota fishing season never closes. The annual license is good for year-round fishing, so don’t delay!

SWIMMING Don’t forget to bring a swimsuit with you if you come to visit during the summer months! Vermillion’s state-of-the-art water park, Prentis Plunge, is something you won’t want to miss. The heated pool features a lazy river, slides, splash pad, lap swim, concession stand, and plenty of lounge chairs for you to enjoy.

Clay County Historical Society We’d like to welcome you to the Austin-Whittemore House, home of the Clay County Historical Society.

Built in 1882 this house was almost lost to a parking lot. Luckily, a group of dedicated community people rescued it. The Austin-Whittemore House is a place to research Clay County history, a perfect gathering place for a party or a meeting, and a lovely reminder of why it is important to honor our past.
