Our Museum has Something for Everyone


Sculptures & Bronzes by John Lopez

The Museum hosts many of John Lopez's sculptures, from bronzes to multi media art. At any time, John will drop off new pieces for us to display. So far, John has created eight bronze sculptures of former Presidents of the United States for the City of Presidents project in Rapid City, SD, on display on the streets downtown. Come see what you can find entangled within the wonderful scrap sculptures. Children of all ages will be happy to note that these pieces can be touched.

Ranching, Native American & Homestead Displays

The Museum has many displays of life on the ranch, old time entertainments, Native American history, the Bismarck-Deadwood Trail and the history of the area. Cowboys and families from all over have donated artifacts and pictures to display here.

Creation Science

Creation Science has it's roots in the literal interpretation of the Bible. Genesis tells of a worldwide catastrophe called Noah's Flood. To this day, many people try to explain evolution as a science and creation as a religion. However, through recent advances in science, especially archaeology and catastrophic geology, the Bible is regaining its authority as history, even among non-believers. Displayed here is a cross section of a model of the Ark as it may have been built.

And Now the Dinosaurs!

The area is a fertile source of dinosaurs and fossils: Anemones, Edmontosaurus, Pachycephlasaurus, Triceratops, Tyrannasaurus Rex, and more. Many are displayed here in one place, our Museum. Visitors are welcome to touch and feel real dinosaur bones.

Our Many Activities

The Museum has many activities for everyone to enjoy. There are Scavenger Hunts which kids can see if they can find such objects as an ammonite, horse tooth puller, school bell or moccasins displayed within the Museum's displays. The Museum also hosts events such as Taco Suppers, traveling exhibits from larger museums, programs from the South Dakota Humanities Council, book contests in which you must find the oldest cookbook, school history book, etc.
