WELCOME TO THE SOUTH DAKOTA MUSEUM / CULTURAL CENTER
LARGEST IN THE STATE OF SOUTH DAKOTA

South Dakota Cultural Heritage Center brings history alive through exhibits, educational programming and research services.  You'll experience everything from early American Indian cultures to the arrival of white settlers, river boats and railroads.  Walk through a sod house and hear stories told by a pioneer woman, see a Lakota teepee up close and witness the workings of a replica gold mining operation.

Of particular importance is the museum's collection of 1,339 Native American objects. The collection, which focuses on the Sioux Indians, is noteworthy for both its quality and its documentation.
 

Of Special Interest

A peace medal distributed by Lewis and Clark during their expedition has been donated to the Heritage Center and is on display. The medal is dated 1801.  About Jefferson Peace Medals >>
