The Mammoth Site of Hot Springs, SD, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit organization with a volunteer board of directors who guide the process of this education and research center with a mission of preserving, researching, and interpreting The Mammoth Site and promoting a broad understanding of the Ice Age record on a global basis.
