An unexected treat for any age visitor. This museum tells the story of the continuous "journey" and development of the Black Hills and surrounding areas. It starts back with the the beginning of time, brings you up through the dinosaur ages and continues until modern times and even predicts the future of the Black Hills and area. The visit begins...

The museum was well laid out and had displays for children and adults alike. I spent the good part of the morning there. I walked from the down town area. It had a nice gift shop and a thrift shop across the street. More

This wasn’t our highlight of the trip but we did to. There are things for young children to do. It is somewhat entertaining as long as you’re into state's history. There were areas that interested me and others we shuffled through. Overall its clean, well done, and commanding for history buffs. More
