The Carnegie Library was built in Watertown in 1906 through a grant from the Carnegie Foundation and functioned as a library until 1967 when operations moved to a new building further east in town next to what was then the newly built Watertown Senior High School. A youth group briefly occupied the Carnegie Library building before its use by the Codington County Historical Society.[3]

Codington County Historical Society

The museum is maintained by the Codington County Historical Society. The group was founded in 1970 and was officially incorporated in 1974.[2] They put out a bi-monthly publication for paid members entitled the Codington County Courier. In the past, the publication was called Wagon Wheels.

gollark: If you want your dragons to have special features, you need the IDon'tKnowAShinyThing tier, which allows you to demand features from TJ09.
gollark: Just fill out the form, upload art (or not) and they get added to DC the day afterward.
gollark: It lets you create dragons, with no moderation or restrictions.
gollark: Oh.
