Smallish museum at local college. Good display of fossils, rocks and minerals. Many from SD and neighboring states. Usually staffed by students who are glad to answer questions. Good books on sale. One of 2 geology must-sees in the Black Hills. More

My husband and I are gem-a-holics. This place satisfied our search for beauty and beyond. For those of you who are toting dogs in your vehicle, there was enough shade to keep them happy on a sunny day. There is no food service, but the town has plenty of places to sate your appetite. More

This is a beautiful lil stop. It is amazing what mother nature has developed for us to see. From Aggots to crystals to fossils and much more. If you are a rock hound this is the place to see. You can even pick you up a souvinire! More

The fossil collection is small, but very interesting in that so much of it is from the area. Good lesson on Black Hills, Badlands, and South Dakota geology too. We sure learned a lot in an hour! It's free (donations gratefully accepted) so check it out. More

A few nice fossils to observe, but not an extensive collection. Interesting though. More

We moved though fairly quickly. It does have a lot of area Geology display. There are some interesting things and areas you'll move through quickly. There are some hands on displays for kids so that helps. Overall not a disappointment but nothing too exciting. More

We were touring the School of the mines college open house so time was limited. For what it was seemed ok. More
