Yankton College, Historic liberal arts college in Yankton, South Dakota.
The educational complex includes multiple buildings designed by architect George Grant Elmslie between 1927 and 1932, featuring distinctive architectural elements.
Founded in 1881 as the first higher education institution in Dakota Territory, Yankton College operated until its closure in December 1984.
