The Minnilusa Pioneer Museum

Your journey leads you to the not-so-distant past when mountain men, military expeditions and miners first set foot in the Black Hills.

Illuminated story walls guide you from the European settlers first encounter of the Black Hills to the historic Battle of Little Big Horn and ultimately to the modern-day reconciliation with Wounded Knee and other historical events.

See how the discovery of gold captured a young America's imagination.

Encounter Jim Bridger, General George Armstrong Custer, Wild Bill Hickock, as well as the great Sioux leaders, Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse and Red Cloud - they all made their mark on history here, and they will leave an indelible impression on you.
