Plankinton, South Dakota, WWII Veterans Memorial

Not too much has changed here since our visit back in 2012.  That post is here.  Now they have internet, and we're in the next lot to the one posted then.

The population was 707 at the 2010 census...Plankinton sprang up with the arrival of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad to the area in 1880.[8] The town was named for Milwaukee-based meatpacker and railroad official John Plankinton.[9]......According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 0.76 square miles (1.97 km2), all of it land.[2]

These picture are in front of the Court House, in Plankinton.
