South Dakota Trail of Governors Display Adds More Statues

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) - South Dakota is unveiling three more bronze statues of its former governors.

Former Govs. Warren E. Green, Nils A. Boe and M. Michael Rounds are the newest additions to the state's Trail of Governors series. The sculptures will be unveiled June 24 in the state Capitol rotunda.

Current Gov. Dennis Daugaard is set to participate in the event with Rounds, now a U.S. senator.

Family members and donors will also be there for the unveiling with the sculptors.

The statues will join others on the trail that goes through Pierre and the Capitol's grounds. It features a dozen statues now, with three commissioned each year by the trail's nonprofit foundation using individual and business donations.
