Preserving the Past, Investing in the Future: Dan Boehnen’s Legacy for Mitchell’s Historic Village
For Dan Boehnen, it’s about family, Mitchell and history. His grandfather, Leo, moved to the Mitchell area with his mother and siblings in the late 1800s after his father died. When Leo turned 16, he went to northwest South Dakota to homestead. After he was able to gain title and sell his homestead, he moved back to the Mitchell area where he bought a farm and got married. Leo eventually moved into Mitchell and started an “oil jobber” business, a middleman in the supply chain of oil products.
