The Journey Museum

Thank You! Your rating has been saved.

The Journey Museum takes you on an incredible trek through time, from the violent upheaval that formed the mystical Black Hills over 2.5 billion years ago to the continuing saga of the Western Frontier.

When your journey is complete, you will fully understand the legacy of the land and its people.

The Journey Museum brings together four major prehistoric and historic collections to tell the complete story of the Western Great Plains - from the perspective of the Lakota people and the pioneers who shaped its past, to the scientists who now study it. View video tour of the museum.

Discover where dinosaurs lie buried beneath the prairie soil.

Learn why the Sioux call their sacred Black Hills the "Center of the Universe".

Experience the hardships of the homesteaders as they settled the formidable wilderness
