In 2023, Vermillion will celebrate the 100th anniversary of Prentice Park.

Do you see the park’s baseball field and the swimming pool on the postcard above?

Vermillion is collecting stories about the park for the celebration. We will happily forward any stories you send to us to the committee collecting the stories.

Help us assign a date to this postcard. We know it is after 1936 and before the late 1950s because the caretaker’s house in the park is present, but the water tower is not. Please also contact us if you know who took the picture or made the postcard.

The image is an undated postcard from South Dakota postal cards: A collection of cards of early South Dakota. CHILSON COLLECTION F656 .S63x.
