A few days ago, we took a look at some photos taken around South Dakota in the 1950s which you can see here. Now we are going to head into the next decade - the 1960s. The 60s was a decade of changes and advancements, war and peace, and major headlines of events the world will never forget. South Dakota was pushing for more tourism and residents. Take a trip into this past in these seven photographs of the state during this ever-changing decade.
