Helen Mckennan and Mckennan Park Historic District Est. 1984

Welcome to the Local Lou Podcast! I am thrilled to have you here today as we explore fascinating local history.


In this episode, we'll delve into a bust dedicated to Helen McKennan and her contributions to the McKennan Park Historic District, established in 1984. We'll also introduce you to four significant figures from Sioux Falls' history: Helen Gale McKennan, Artemus Gale, Frances Carpenter, and EA Sherman. By learning more about these individuals, we'll be able to discuss the controversy we uncovered in the previous episode, "A Park Born in Controversy."
