high plains heritage center museum印象

We discovered that there was going to be a dual performance at the Center with a Cowboy Ballad singer and a Cowboy poet. It was a fun performance and we also had time to enjoy the great museum exhibits.

If you are info "cowboy: and redeo and early plains history, this is a must see. If not(like us) worth seeing but too long on many aspects (sadles, redeo pictures)...

WOW! This was a great little find! I knew Jerry Croft, known for his saddlery and his fun sense of humor and it was so precious to view so much of his contributions to the museum. Even if I hadn't met him, this museum is fascinating to those that love museums. Also, who knew 100 different kinds of barbed wire could be so cool? I had no idea there were different kinds. We will definitely be back, for sure. Thank you!

If you want history of the area this is the place to go!! Our kids go for school trips and I still sign up to go cause there is stuff I haven't had a chance to see yet. They also host the Heritage of the American West Show once a month which is always amazing and worth a Thursday night out!

The view from this museum is amazing, you can see three states! Interesting exhibits evoke the old west. I liked the stuffed longhorn cows, the stagecoaches, and the cowboy art .A little pricey but worth it.

A good place to get up close with life in the 'old west.' There are lots of saddles,some information on the cattle and sheep industries, and exhibits of old blacksmith and leather working tools but very little explanation on how or what specific items were used for. There is an exhibit of a chuck wagon, stagecoach and hearse but no information on the specific models displayed. Focus is on the cowboy era with little on the Native American heritage of the area. Wonderful building with a fantastic view to the north, Old machinery outside Not an expensive attraction ($7 for adults and $15 for a family) and good spot to visit for local history.
-
Lots of exhibits about cowboy life and their equipment, local ranchers with their brands, and the development of barbed wire (many samples). If you aren't a fan of late 1800's/early 1900's western history and life in the West, you probably won't think too much of the museum, but it's a very nice museum for the info it's presenting.

As part of our bus tour we had about an hour and a half here to view it's many exhibits. The exhibits are spread throughout two floors and there is an elevator. We were greeted and given a short orientation about Spearfish and the center. There is lots to see -- saddles, bridles, spurs, gun, different wire fencing used, harness makers shop, and a Bison. You can see information on the Cowboy Hall of Fame inductees, champion rodeo rider's saddles. There is a plastic saddle display (who knew, plastic saddle?) as well as a hearse, surrey, and coach - all horse drawn vehicles of the day. There is a real size display of cattle given to the Indians. This center was quite interesting and the views outside were fantastic!

Lots of saddles and information about area. They have a $15 family rate. Our boys ages 11-13 enjoyed the displays. Can spend 1-2 hours.

If you pass through Spearfish, be sure to take time to stop at the High Plains Heritage Museum. Bison roam the pastures surrounding the building and inside there is plenty of cowboy and native American memorabilia including interesting items from Custer's last stand. Plan on at least two hours and the price is right!
