What can I see at the Museum of Geology?

Visit the Museum of Geology and learn just how the Black Hills looked and lived before humans. Because the museum is linked to the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, acquisition of minerals and fossils is a part of their curriculum. It is, therefore, an ever growing project and collection which today encompasses over 250,000 fossils and 6,000 minerals.
