Prairie Edge occupies three historic buildings in downtown Rapid City. The largest was a furniture store and an undertaker (a common combination back in the early days), a saloon and brothel (complete with burn marks in the floor in the corner where the spittoon was located), and a mercantile. The buildings have been beautifully preserved and restored and are filled... More

I'm a devoted admirer of Native American art, so we were delighted to find Prairie Edge in downtown Rapid City some years ago. Now we stop there any time that we get anywhere near Rapid City.

We travel to South Dakota frequently on business. But it isn't all work and no play! We've been coming to Prairie Edge and its associated Sioux Trading Post for over 15 years.

The sales people were very friendly and knowledgeable. SO much to view and choose from. Excellent craftsmanship.

Includes furniture, books, cds in addition to artwork and crafts. Three floors.

one of the top ten things to do in Rapid City! worth the visit
