The Arts Center offers beautiful items for sale by area artists and the center also offers classes and special events periodically, such as the Lego competition for kids. I recently had a piece of glass replaced for a print that my husband loves. He was thrilled with the results. The quality of work is superb. I will be taking more pictures to the Arts Center for framing.

The byway is an excellent way to see the sights of the Black Hills near Rushmore. Hairpin turns, multiple tunnels, views of the Presidents - this was a great drive.

We visited on August 23rd. The cultural interpreter was a Lakota gentleman who spoke for an hour and we could have listened another hour! He was extremely informative and personable. Then we walked the grounds and viewed the extraordinary life-size bronze sculptures depicting a "buffalo drop". They alone are worth the visit.

Do yourself a favor and go see this hidden gem in the Black Hills! Seth Bullock had this tower built in honor of his best friend, President Roosevelt! When Seth died, he was buried facing it .... Clear across the town .....it's an easy hike to get to and you can climb to the top for a breathtaking view! Don't miss it

10. 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!
