About Daneville Heritage Museum

The Daneville Heritage Museum in Viborg, South Dakota, preserves local history for the surrounding community. Its office archives hold family history files for people tied to the Viborg area over roughly the last 150 years, along with digital copies of several high school yearbooks and a set of 1932-37 Viborg baseball scoresheets. The museum library holds submitted family histories and photo albums for research, though many are not online, plus newspapers, centennial town books, county atlases, and farm directories. A gift shop sells Danish-themed and Viborg-themed items during open hours. Visitors should call ahead or check the posted schedule, since hours are limited.
