It’s four miles south and seventeen miles east of Putney, SD!
That proud claim is boldly printed on our Quasquicentennial T-Shirts, which can be purchased from Nsho-Tshi’s Trading Post.
Of course one begs to ask where in the world is Putney?
Perhaps the good people of Putney, SD may give you similar directions to their small town in relation to ours.
So how does one get to Pierpont, SD?
It’s really simple, just click here! and follow the directions to our small South Dakota Prairie town.

Quasquicentennial? What kind of word monstrocity is this? Where did it come from and who coined it? Well, here is a short history …

Robert L. Chapman of Baldwin, New York, wrote …

During the first week of August in 1961, Frank & Wagnalls received a letter from Frank W. Hattan of Delavan, Illinois, requesting “suggestions or criticism” concerning two words which had been coined to mean ’125th aniversary’. The words were ‘cenquadtennial’ and ‘centquartennial’. Delavan, a town with a population of about 1600 would be celebrating its 125th anniverary as “New Frontier Days” from August 30 through September 3, 1962.

It is our policy to reply as courteously and helpfully as we can to such requests, and I answered Mr. Hatten on August 7, suggesting ‘quasquicentennial’. …
