Harry L Petre Public Library

Located at 101 1st. Street NE our library offers:

	Seeman Park A beautiful, safe and enjoyable place to spend your time while visiting Linton. It features overnight camping, shower facilities, barbecue grills, sheltered picnic areas, a pavilion, an outdoor stage, a playground for the children and a nice softball field.
	There is plenty of room for a quiet walk or just for lounging on a hot summer afternoon. In the heart of Seeman Park is Beaver Creek which winds its way through the entire park.  The park is open from April 15 to September 15 and is one mile east and 1/2 mile south of Linton on Highway 13.
	Pheasant Hunting The Emmons county area is famous for the abundant pheasant population and the good hunting opportunities. The area is truly a pheasant hunters paradise.
	Fishing Access With the Missouri River being only 13 miles to the west, Linton has access to prime walleye fishing as well as other native game fish. Lake Oahe, which backs up to this area, makes for nice sandy beaches and great boating facilities.
	Big Game Hunting Each year in early November the streets of Linton turn orange with deer hunters getting ready to bag their trophy buck. The area has great white tail and mule deer hunting and many trophy deer are taken yearly. You can always find a hunter's stew somewhere in the area.
	Prairie Bells - Grotto of the Holy Family The shrine is located on a five acre plot atop a rolling hill and features a handmade fieldstone grotto with a 50 foot bell tower. Inside the grotto, the Holy Family is depicted with statues, two benches rest on a gray and black granite floor.  The black granite, imported from India, is laid in the shape of a cross. Four bells, ranging in weight from 250 to 1,200 pounds, compose the Prairie Bells and can be heard up to 10 miles away when rung. Prairie Bells is located 16 miles east of Linton and one mile north of Highway 13.
	Nokota Horse Conservancy The Nokota Horse conservancy is a non-profit organization established in 1999 to preserve the distinctive Nokota horse. The wild horses of the northern plains inhabited the area encompassing Theodore roosevelt National Park for more that a hundred years. Unfortunately, the Park's policy has been to remove the original horses and replace them with domestic breeds.
	In the late 1970's two brothers, Leo and Frank Kuntz, began their fight to save the Nokota from extinction. Roughly twenty years later, with the help of numerous others, the Nokota Horse conservancy was created. The conservancy's goal is to provide a place for these horses to roam free while ensuring their survival through minimal management.
