They have a full yard full of different bins of rough stones of all kinds!! Whatever you're looking for the Rock Shed probably has it. We found some great pieces of South Dakota Rose Quartz, and some Botswana Agates for our jewelry that we make at home.

9. Keystone Historical Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 37 reviews
The museum is located in the old Keystone School. The school was built in 1899. Keystone is home to Carrie Ingalls Swazney. Carrie is Laura Ingalls Wilder's little sister. The museum has many artifacts from the Ingalls family. The museum also has local, mining, and Mount Rushmore history. Upstairs there are two classrooms for the children as well as adults to experience what school was like many, many years ago. The museum is free, but we do take "milk money" donations.

We loved our visit to the Keystone Historical Museum. A great stop not just for Laura Ingalls Wilder fans but filled with lots of lovely, local history. The docent was so so knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommend!
