Mary Jo Wegner Arboretum & East Sioux Falls Historic Site

On the east side of Sioux Falls sits a historic 115-acre plot rich with evidence of the past: stone quarries, rail lines, building foundations, town roads and more. Soon, the abundant cultural resources and open space will be preserved for the whole community to enjoy. With wetlands, gardens and native plants, the Arboretum will provide recreation--including an extension of the Sioux Falls Bike Trail System--and education of earlier culture's interaction with environment. The Arboretum and bike trail project will educate people of all ages on the natural history of our area, and provide economic development as Sioux Falls becomes an even more attractive place to live and work. With the support of our community, the Arboretum will be built in the next four years and be the crown jewel of the Sioux Falls park system--a place to return to our beginnings.
