Various multipliers were used to compute the visitation totals at Pipestone.

#Totals from Lyle K. Linch's tenure (1948-1954) are highly suspect. Linch was known to inflate his numbers.

*The change from fiscal to calendar year created two totals for 1953.

@Fee collection was initiated in 1987. This significantly decreased the number of local people who entered the Visitor Center.
