Your first stop is the South Dakota Agricultural Heritage Museum. This museum provides something for the entire family. The children’s gallery educates kids on many aspects of agriculture and livestock management in a fun way! Practice collecting and grading eggs or milking a cow. Peddle the grain auger to move crops from the field to the silo and more! It’s a local favorite for playdates. This place isn’t just for littles, though! Grownups can also enjoy the galleries, including homesteading during the dust bowl or wind energy.
Pro Tip!
This museum is totally free to enter!
