October 2012. After moving to Yankton in 2000, he took an immediate in- terest in the museum. “When I first moved to South Dakota, (one of the museum’s board members) showed me the house and I’ve been inter- ested ever since,” he said. “When the position became available, I applied for it and have been thankful ever since I got it.” During tour season, Hellmers said the number of tours each day varies anywhere from one or two each day, to large groups of six to 12. He said he’s seen tourists come from all over to see the house. “We have a lot of people,” he said. We had some from Canada, Australia, Africa, England and from all over the states. One of the first things they say when they come into this house is they’ve never seen a house so well preserved and so well taken care of, and a tour guide that didn’t just walk them through but explained what the family and life was like at that period. A lot of them said they’d toured a lot of Victorian homes, but nothing of this nature.” As for his own experience, Hellmers said he’s thankful to have been given the opportunity. “I am totally grateful,” he said. “It is a blessing that I got this place and be here in itself. It’s taught me to be more aware of things around me, and I get to put a smile peoples’ faces. For me, my goal in life is very sim- ple: If you can put a smile on somebody’s face, you’ve done wonders.” ——— Starting this month, the Cramer-Kenyon Heritage Home is also going to a free-will dona- tion system rather than charg- ing a set entrance fee. ——— For more information on the Cramer-Kenyon Heritage Home, visit http://cramer- kenyon.webs.com/ You can follow Rob Nielsen on Twitter at twitter.com/Rob- NielsenPandD/.
