William J. Janklow Community Center / Armory:
William J. "Bill" Janklow (1939-2012) was a dedicated public servant and longtime leader in South Dakota. Born in Chicago, he moved with his family to Flandreau, SD at a young age and spent much of his youth here. He served four terms as the state's Govenor, making him the longest-serving governor in South Dakota history, and later represented the state in the U.S. House of Representatives. Known for his strong leadership and commitment to improving education, infrastructure, and economic development, Janklow also maintained ties to Flandreau throughout his career, helping secure grant funding for local projects including the Flandreau Aquatic Center. The Flandreau Community Center was renamed the William J. Janklow Community Center / Armory during a dedication ceremony in 2012 following his passing. The William J. Janklow Community Center / Armory honors his legacy of service and dedication to the people of South Dakota.
