Britton & Marshall County, South Dakota

South Dakota’s own Dallas Goedert is returning to the Super Bowl for the second time in seven seasons this Sunday as his Philadelphia Eagles will face the Kansas City Chiefs for the Lombardi Trophy.

Marshall County Courthouse will soon get a $9.6 million dollar facelift. The facelift includes increasing parking capacity, a building addition, remodeling parts of the current courthouse, and updating current mechanical systems.

A match made in first grade, Ed and Maggie Jerde took the next few decades living very separate lives. Both returned home for a class reunion, only to fall in love.

SDPB learns more about the impact of two of Britton’s finest football players – Dallas Goedert and Trevor Zuehlke - and discovers how tragedy turned into a message of strength that spread across South Dakota all the way to the NFL.

A natural bowl in the hills outside of Britton provided the ultimate setting for a time-honored Western tradition that has impacted the lives of those who grew up around it. SDPB takes you to the Buckhorn Rodeo.

SDPB visits the legacy of the 100+-year-old Strand Theatre and meets owner Tom Farber, who tells us about the importance of a movie theater in a small town.

The mayor of Britton is also an inventor, entrepreneur, and pilot. Clyde Fredrickson shows the SDPB crew a view they can’t find with two feet on the ground and provides insight into how he got into the South Dakota Hall of Fame.

SDPB visits the Marshall County for the Annual Amherst Pie Auction, a charity event with proceeds going to the American Cancer Society.

To highlight the upcoming episode of Dakota Life, we share about the town of Britton and its origins.

Join SDPB for a free screening of Dakota Life Greetings from Britton on Wednesday, December 4th, at the Strand Theatre.
