- - Why Pierre?
    Pierre is the South Dakota state capital with a population of 14,000. As the second smallest state capital in the US, Pierre has a small town feel with a huge sense of community. Conveniently located on the beautiful Missouri River, Pierre is home to an abundance of outdoor activities including fishing, hunting, and over 50 miles of trails and pathways! You can also find plenty of entertainment such as museums, theaters, and local businesses. If you choose to make Pierre your home, you will also have access to major healthcare systems and ten public and private K-12 schools. We are proud to call Pierre our home and we know you will be too!
