A grand dome of copper rises above Pierre, shimmering with nearly a century of secrets and shakeups. Behind the stately architecture beats a heart pulsing with power struggles, untold wildlife tales, and whispers from the Governor’s Residence lawns.

Take a self-guided audio tour winding through the city’s political corridors and outdoor wonders. Unearth stories overlooked by hurried travelers as you listen closely to the clues hiding in plain sight.

Why did a midnight vote in the Capitol nearly change the fate of the entire state? Which mysterious visitor vanished from the Governor’s Residence on a winter night? Who once fished an unlikely relic from the riverbanks near the Department of Game, Fish, and Parks?

Move through grand marble halls and along sunlit trails. Catch the echoes of ambition and scandal in every step. See Pierre through the eyes of those who shaped, challenged, and changed it forever.

Plug in. The real Pierre awaits.
