Legacy Interview: Dr. Peggy Banks

South Dakota Hall of Fame Legacy Podcast

In this Legacy Interview, our host Miles Beacom sits down with Dr. Peggy Banks, assistant director of the National Music Museum, located in Vermillion.
Peggy shares with us how 2006 Inductee Andre Larson and 2001 Inductee Dr. Wayne Knutson made a huge impact on the campus of USD, the State of South Dakota, and beyond.
2006 Inductee Andre Larson and 2001 Inductee Dr. Wayne Knutson are responsible for ensuring that the National Music Museum came home to the University of South Dakota. The collection was first founded by Andre’s father, Arnie Larson, and with the help of Dr. Knutson, the two established and grew the museum which is nearing its 50th anniversary.
The museum houses over 15,000 musical instruments, including many of the earliest, best-preserved, and historically important instruments known to survive to this day.
