Construction begins on planned Kyle Evans, western heritage museum in Wessington Springs

WESSINGTON SPRINGS, S.D. — In the town of Wessington Springs, the history of the west still runs deep.

"I’m in heaven on a horse, in the wide open prairies of Dakota,” softly croons Kyle Evans, the town’s most famous native son, in the hook of his 1984 song, “In Heaven on a Horse.” A backing singer accompanies him from his band Company Cowboys, as a steel guitar plays and a soft drumbeat anchors the tune’s slow-galloping pace. “Where life sings me a melody and my heart sings in harmony — my troubles never been so few before.”
