Now Open 10 - 5!

Summer is just getting started in our wonderful Black Hills. As the flowers bloom, the temperatures rise, and the wind blows those puffy clouds and afternoon showers over the land, tourists are making their annual pilgrimage through South Dakota. Thus, the South Dakota State Railroad Museum is fully open for the summer!

Starting today, June 1st, we will be open daily from 10 am to 5 pm. Come see fantastic exhibits such as our restored Minneapolis and St. Louis caboose, the Dakota Junction model train display, the 1880 Train in cinema history, a recreation of a small town depot, and the wonderful artwork South Dakota students have created for the 2025 ledger art contest! all of this and more awaits inside the South Dakota State Railroad Museum!
