A blend of old and new
LilyCrest’s owner, Cathy
Clatworthy, settled in South
Dakota more than a decade
ago.
“It has always felt like
home to me from the moment
I drove across the prairie.”
With her she brought her love
for retail merchandising, sales
and design. “I have always
wanted to buy a historic
building for my business and
live above it just like the old
time shopkeepers at the turn of
the century. Moving to
Yankton gave me that
opportunity, my dream became
reality and LilyCrest was
born.”
Cathy bought a 19th
century brick building located
in the heart of Downtown
Yankton which provides ample
space for art, custom framing
as well as home décor, vintage
wares, gifts, and jewelry.
