Museums

A donation will get you into most public museums in Black Hills. Rates for privately operated museums range from $6 to $10. Our list of favorite museums includes the Keystone Historical Museum, the School of Mines Museum of Geology, the Journey Museum, The Adams Museum in Deadwood and the A&A Salvage Museum. Except for the Journey Museum all are free -- although donations are encouraged.       Commercially operated museums include the Rushmore Borglum Story in Keystone, The Museum of Woodcarving in Custer, the Black Hills Mining Museum in Lead among others.      A number of museums appeal to special interests, including the Fort Meade Calvary Museum in Sturgis, the Air and Space Museum at Ellsworth Air Force Base near Rapid City and the Museum of Geology at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology in Rapid City. The Mt. Rushmore Interpretive Center at Mt. Rushmore might also fall into the categoy.      Two private museums, the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum and A&A Salvage Museum in Rapid City are of interest to motorcycle and antique car enthusiasts.      The following links will take you to more information about the various museums listed.
