Doland Opera House

08/16/2026

With Doland School starting this week, we thought it would be the perfect time to take a little trip down memory lane and look back at the Doland Class of 1959! 🧡🖤🧡

We are so grateful to the generous Class of ’59 supporters who have helped make the restoration of the historic Doland Opera House possible:

⭐ Mary Peterson
⭐ John Welch
⭐ Keith Kitzman

Thank you for helping preserve a special piece of Doland’s history for generations to come! Your support helps us bring this beautiful 1913 landmark back to life. 🎭✨

Do you have memories of school plays, dances, movies, or special events at the Opera House? We’d love to hear your stories and see your old photos! 📸 Share them in the comments!

🌽❤️ What a Cornfest! ❤️🌽

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped organize, plan, volunteer, donate, participate, and make this year’s Cornfest such a great community celebration! And thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy the food, games, fellowship, and fun. 🇺🇸🌽

It takes a community to make an event like this happen, and Doland showed once again what a wonderful community we have! ❤️

We’re sharing a few pictures from the day, but we know there are SO many more great memories out there! 📸 Drop your Cornfest pictures in the comments so we can all enjoy them! ⬇️

Thank you for making the Red, White & Blue Doland Cornfest one to remember! 🎉🌽🇺🇸

A huge thank you to the Timberwolves 4-H Club members Jayde, Eli, and Devyn Englund; Riggs, Dessa and Della Lambert; Katie and Remi Hansen, along with Mariflor and Diana Vite Sierra, for volunteering their time and creativity to decorate the Doland Main Street windows for Cornfest!

Your hard work has added so much color and community spirit, and we truly appreciate each of you!

Be sure to stop by and admire their amazing work while you’re enjoying Cornfest festivities, which begins at 4:00 p.m. on Sunday at the Doland City Park! We can’t wait to see everyone there!

Beautiful day forecasted for Sunday! Join us for Doland’s 32nd Annual Cornfest at the Doland City Park on Main Street!

🎉 Exciting news! The Doland Opera House now has temporary electricity—just in time for Doland's 32nd Annual Cornfest and the movie showing this Sunday evening!

Having electricity is an exciting step forward for the restoration project. Not only will it allow us to host events more comfortably, but it will also provide much-needed lighting and power for contractors as they continue restoration work and for volunteers who generously donate their time cleaning and preparing the building. Every improvement brings us one step closer to restoring this historic landmark for generations to come.

We're not finished yet. If you'd like to help us continue the restoration, donations are greatly appreciated and may be mailed to:

Doland Opera House
P.O. Box 126
Doland, SD 57436

Every donation, big or small, helps preserve this community treasure. Thank you for your continued support!
