After our foray into Jewel Cave, we drove into the City of Custer
(not to be confused with Custer
State Park) for a bite to
eat. Having been for pie before, we
stopped at the Purple Pie Place
for lunch and has a fabulous meal ~ chicken & veggie potpie for Suzanne and
since it was the last one available, a turkey Panini for Brad ~ both great! Of
course, peach pie with lots of ice cream was the perfect finish to the meal.
Definitely, definitely this is the place to eat when in the city of Custer, South
Dakota ~ yum!
So the “National” (quotes are ours) Museum of Woodcarving……hmmmmm…… The only reason we went was because it was on
the VIP card, so we could get in for free (normally $9 per adult). Basically, a
man named Harley Niblack (1894-1966) had a passion for woodcarving and was
financially sound enough to retire at the age of 42 and spend the rest of his life
woodcarving and creating little engines so the woodcarvings could have
movement. To his credit, he did have three of his woodcarvings displayed in The
Smithsonian Institute. We could appreciate the fine detail that went into these
carvings, but at $9 per person, for us, this is not something we would have
done if it wasn’t free. (Now, ask our
neighbors what they thought – they loved it – to each their own, as they say.)
Easy and affordable - no matter where you are!
