Savo Hall, also known as the Finnish National Society Hall, is a historic meeting hall in Savo Township, Brown County, South Dakota. The hall was constructed in 1899 to serve as a meeting place for Savo's Finnish-American community. The Finnish National Society of Savo, formed the previous year, built the hall; the society consisted of Finnish-American residents of the area and largely consisted of members of the local Finnish Evangelical Lutheran Church. The hall hosted a variety of social functions, including theatrical and musical shows, sporting events, and temperance meetings. Of the four Finnish-American social halls built in South Dakota, the hall is the only one still in existence.^[3]

The hall was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 13, 1985.^[1]
