On a recent trip to Yankton, I took several photos at this site. They're at Commons:Category:Human Services Center (Yankton, South Dakota).

I don't know South Dakota sources, and this site specifically, so I picked a general-purpose photo. Someone who knows more about the site than I might want to use a different illustration.

I expect to be back in Yankton within a few months. If an editor working on this article has a specific photo in mind (for example, an illustration of a particular building), please drop a note at my talk page and I'll try to get it for you when I'm next up there.

Yankton not a remote location

Latest comment: 13 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

These puzzling words currently appear early in the article: "In 1879, Governor William A. Howard considered the cities of Vermillion, Elk Point, and Canton when he finally decided on Yankton. It was a very small town then, and the remote location would be the perfect location for a psychiatric hospital."

I find this assertion unsatisfactory. Yankton may be off the beaten track now, but it was the focus of early White expansion into Dakota Territory, and in fact served as the territorial capital. It was on the Missouri River, the primary means of transportation back then, and remained a thriving commercial center for decades to come. Who can explain this statement, please? Thanks.

It may refer to the location as pertaining to Yankton itself. HSC is on the northern edge of Yankton today but back when it was built it was several miles north of town. That's the best I can come up with. -- sdgjake (talk) 15:28, 26 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
