Flaming Fountain Memorial is located on the shores of the Capitol Lake. This spectacular monument is dedicated to the local South Dakotans who fought during the war. There is a stone memorial, fountain, and waterfall with an eagle statue that honors the members of the great Sioux Nation who lost their lives in this country’s modern war.

The fountain is unique as in the past, flames would rise above the water. Water is sourced from a nearby well that flows into Capitol Lake, and flames would begin to dance above the top of the fountain when gas was directed into the memorial and lit.
