Background
Formerly the Lincoln Memorial Library, Lincoln
Music Hall was built with funds generated from a statewide cigarette
tax. This was the first South Dakota building constructed with
funds gathered from a tax on cigarettes. It was also the first land
grant building named for President Abraham Lincoln. President
Calvin Coolidge dedicated the building and the Coolidge Sylvan
Theatre in 1927. In 1979, following the library’s move to its
current location, the building was renamed Lincoln Music Hall.
