Part of our compensation package in working for the Mount Rushmore Bookstore Association is that we were given VIP passes to multiple attractions in the Black Hills area. The pass, for the most part, offers free admission to attractions, with the idea that when tourists and visitors ask us about places to go and things to do, we’ll know the area. So today, we went to two Keystone attractions, as they’re right down the road from us.
This
is a museum with an audio tour that gives information about Gutzon Borglum, the
sculptor of Mount Rushmore. It was interesting to see more of his work
(there are a few pieces at Mount Rushmore), but given that we have “done” all
of Mount Rushmore, we didn’t really learn
anything new. In all honesty, the place was a bit run-down and we were glad we
did not have to pay the $10 per person admission price. If you’re interested in
learning more about Borglum, better to spend time at Mount
Rushmore and really take-in the Sculptor’s Studio, Ranger talks,
and information offered.
Wax museums aren’t our
favorite thing, but when it’s free and a rainy day, well, there ya go! Again, another audio tour is included with a
$10 per person admission, and again, we were disappointed. The wax presidents
just didn’t look very much like the real thing, and this place was also
outdated ~ notice the sign……
Easy and affordable - no matter where you are!
