Could there be a name more perfect than "Watertown" for a little city nestled amidst glacial lakes? Watertown, South Dakota lies on the banks of the Big Sioux River, but nearby Lake Pelican and Lake Kampeska are favorite year-round destinations for the city's 20,000 inhabitants. During the summer Watertown's five parks are packed with campers, picnickers, swimmers and sailors. The fun doesn't stop for the cold, and in the winter ice fishing, ice boating and skating on the frozen lakes are all popular sports. The natural beauty of the area is perfectly complemented by Watertown's quaint downtown district. More than 65 structures are listed on the National Historic Register, and these buildings still house the shops, offices and restaurants where Watertown's visitors and residents do business and relax. Quiet evenings in the prairie town are the norm, but they are often enlivened by art exhibits, concerts, and plays held at the Terry Redlin Art Center.

When the Dakota Territories were divided into North and South, the last governor of the Territories became the first governor of South Dakota. This man was named Arthur C. Mellette and he was from Watertown. Governor Mellette's 1883 home has been preserved with family heirlooms and period furnishings. It is open to the public from May through September.
