The Spearfish Area Historical Society has done an outstanding job of pulling in some great speakers. SAHS meets monthly and you'll find some photographs and information from more recent meetings below. Please note that this is not an official site for the society.

The cozy basement sports a tile floor and a peninsula fireplace that serves to help divide the space.

"Like so many old houses from the 19th century, the stairwell was really narrow, and it needed a lot of work," Darling said.
Both the existing stairwell and a new one to the basement were widened to 42" to help improve access and egress, and to better accommodate moving furniture up and down the stairs.
Notice here the new landing added between the main floor and the upstairs.
Zana's flair for attractive artwork and accessories complemented the meticulous interior work. You can click on any of these photos to select from a menu of size options at the top of the page.

"Installing that window was a bit serendipitous," said Darling, "but it resulted in a spectacular vantage point to see Spearfish Mountain, Crow Peak, and clear up to the Redwater Valley."

Following the March program, attendees had a chance to rummage through the many artifacts that Zana brought to share with the group.
Joan Follette and John Williams study an old map of Spearfish.
We're not sure who provided the old map -- or who had published it -- but perhaps someone will let us know by notifying us at Galey Media. Thanks.

As always, treats and good discussions are an important part of every monthly meeting.
Thanks to homeowner Zana Hartman and general contractor Joel Darling for an excellent presentation.
It's not too early to mark April 6th on your calendars for the next Spearfish Area Historical Society meeting. Linfred Schuttler (at right, examining items from the March session) will present The Town of Spearfish, Born 1876, and Born Again, and Again....
