Comment: Per User:SportingFlyer's comments. Unfortunately, this draft will have to be reworked to show that it is notable enough to for this article, and the formatting might need to be changed to read like a proper encyclopedia article. If these are met, your draft will be accepted. 1990'sguy (talk) 14:05, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
- Comment: This really isn't written like an encyclopaedia article and is only marginally notable if it is at all (most of the sources are very short), so I can't accept it at this time. SportingFlyer T·C 20:42, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
The Trail of Governors is a project to place life-size bronze statues of every former Governor of South Dakota in Pierre, the state capital. As of 2018, twenty-two statues have been placed.[1]
Statues have been added to the trail each year since 2012:
- 2012: The trail's first statues portrayed Arthur C. Mellette, Harlan J. Bushfield and Walter Dale Miller.[2]
- 2013: Statues were added of Frank Farrar, Harvey Wollman and William J. Janklow.[3]
- 2014: In conjunction with celebrations of the South Dakota's 125th anniversary of statehood, the trail added statues of Robert S. Vessey, Peter Norbeck and George S. Mickelson.[4]
- 2015: New statues were added portraying Charles N. Herreid, George T. Mickelson and Richard F. Kneip.[5]
- 2016: The trail added statues of Warren E. Green, Nils Boe and M. Michael Rounds.[6]
- 2017: Four statues were added to the trail, portraying Tom Berry, Leslie Jensen, Sigurd Anderson and Joe Foss.[7]
- 2018: Statues of William H. McMaster, Merrell Q. Sharpe and Ralph Herseth were added to the trail.[8]
- 2019: The most recent statues to join the trail are Samuel H. Elrod, Archie M. Gubbrud and Dennis Daugaard.[9]
Following the 2019 unveiling, six former governors remain to be added to the trail: Charles H. Sheldon, Andrew E. Lee, Coe I. Crawford, Frank M. Byrne, Carl Gunderson and William J. Bulow, as well as current Governor Kristi Noem.
Sculptors who have created statues for the project include John Lopez, James Van Nuys, James Michael Maher, Lee Leuning and Sherry Treeby.[10]
