Pollock's Visitors Center held its open house in December 2004, before that time it was housed in the Carlson Mfg. Building. On display are items and pictures pertaining to Pollock's history and the move of Old Pollock from the area, which is now Lake Pocassee to our current location, the move was necessary because of the building of Oahe Reservoir. The move began in 1955 and was completed by the end of 1960.  Much of this information can be found in a collection of newspaper scrap books of articles, and obituaries dating back to 1888.  There is also a display on the Lewis and Clark expedition, a display of clocks made from trees that grow throughout South Dakota, information of rural schools, and art from local artists. Our annual Tour of Tables event is scheduled for August 16th, 2025.
