I visited the Berlin Wall Exhibit in Memorial Park in downtown Rapid City. It came up on a few…read moresearches, so I headed over. The exhibit is right next to the large lake in Memorial Park and has a large parking lot nearby for easy access. You can also walk around the park if it is a nice day for an extra treat. The main part of the exhibit is a chunk of the actual Berlin Wall. There are a few other artifacts and displays in the open air exhibit that document the history of the wall and the legacy of the Cold War. While it is important to understand this time in global history, the exhibit is just a taste rather than a full meal. If you are in the park on a beautiful day, meander over to the Berlin Wall Exhibit for a brief history lesson.

Who knew a piece of the Berlin Wall was in South Dakota. This is a nice yet simple exhibit. It is…read morelocated right outside Memorial Park, located in the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center Complex. The entire exhibit is located outdoors. The exhibit is small, but still very educational and well put together. The highlight of the exhibit is two actual sections of the Berlin Wall and two tank traps. There is ample parking since it shares the civic center parking. I recommend parking along the entry drive if you can. It is right by the exhibit. It is a nice stop, very peaceful. I spent about 15 to 20 minutes there and then moved on to the park which is directly behind it.

A temporarily placed statue of Pres. Lincoln outside the Hotel Alex Johnson, Don Perdue came up…read morewith the idea to put a life-sized statue of every U.S. President on the sidewalks of Downtown Rapid City. Each statue is privately funded, then a local artists is selected . They research the president ; learning their passions, hobbies & achievements during their presidency. Well known mannerisms or characteristics are incorporated. This information helps to decide on the pose, facial expression, clothing, and all the amazingly tiny details found on each statue. After they have their concept the sculpting work can begin. It can take up to 9 months for each statue to be created. All the statues match the height & weight of the president except one. Pres. Taft's statue was trimmed down from his actual weight to make the monument affordable. A new audio tour allows us to get to know each as people, not just presidents. We can now dial in or scan the QR code found in the brochure to read along. The audio will even point out those tiny details the artist added info we might overlook.

We were in the area for Mount Rushmore, and were looking for other historic things to do/see. The…read moreFounding Fathers exhibit is really a unique experience. Being able to walk around a display with that kind of detail is impressive. I just wish that there was a bit more included in the price. It is $12 per person (discounts for large families/groups). This price includes a light and audio show (about 20 min) of a life size replica of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. For $30 per person, you get to see the show and shoot 3 shots from a musket at the range out back. The light and audio show was a pretty standard museum type explanation of the events surrounding the Declaration of Independence and the people involved. It's well done and fun to look at. They have information around the room to look at afterwards that gives you a background of all the people mentioned. The stories on them are worth taking a few minutes to read and was probably my favorite part. We really just didnt get enough out of it to make it worth the stop, especially for the price. We were in and out of there in less than an hour. We loved the idea of being able to shoot the replica guns out back and it would have been a fun way to complete the experience, but for $30 each it just didn't make sense. I'm glad we checked it out, but its needs a bit more included to make the detour worth it.

The kiddos not into galleries? No worries, there's a play area with interactive toys for all age groups. It has been a while since I've last attended one of the performance art events, but it was Shakespeare, well done, and I would go again. Sadly, I have never had a chance to do an art class so this review skips over that area completely! Don't forget the gift shop and maybe even a donation on the way out if you enjoyed yourself as the Dahl gallery is free to visit.

Longest and Last homestead gold mine in Lead, South Dakota (near Deadwood)…read more Everyone should check this gigantic hole out for themselves. The history is interesting, except for the fact that wealthy entrepreneurs exploited the common folks during the 1929 depression and bought their gold claims/homestead for less than market value. The museum was informative and had incredible exhibits but lacked a feature movie to chronically narrate its evolution.
