Legler Park (Upper City Park)

A product of FDR’s New Deal, the stone benches and lighthouse was built in the l930s. Dean Waddington served as foreman. His crew was made up of young men between the ages of 17-25 who were in need of work. It acquired its name from Merle Legler, who took care of it for many years. Situated on the north part of Main Street, it has been the site of small weddings, VFW barbecues, and just a cool place to sit and ponder.

Still providing library service to the citizens of Redfield, the Redfield Carnegie Library has the distinction of being the oldest Carnegie in continuous use as a library in South Dakota. The Redfield Carnegie Library began as a reading club with members buying books to circulate. A $10,000 endowment from the Andrew Carnegie Foundation was awarded in March 1902.
