The former South Dakota School for the Blind campus is located on Coteau Street in Gary, South Dakota. Consisting of eight buildings constructed between 1899 and 1925, it is now home to the Buffalo Ridge Resort. The school served as a specialized facility for educating the state's blind children, and had a typical student population of 30 to 35 students. The school was moved to a new campus in Aberdeen in 1961, after which the campus served for a few years as an elderly home.[2]
The campus was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
