Adams Museum Gets National Ink

 

The Adams Museum & House in Deadwood got a nice bit of ink the other day. True West Magazine named it one of the top 10 best Western history museums for 2008.

We here in the Hills already knew that, but it’s nice to hear a national magazine agrees with us.

The magazine noted that the Adams Museum provides quality educational programs and exhibits on the history, natural history and art of the Black Hills. Recent exhibits focus on the findings from the Chinese archaeological excavations that recently took place in Deadwood; the City of Deadwood’s Wild Bill Hickok collection; and the official naming of a new genus and species of a plesiosaur in an new display featuring the fossils of a marine reptile that swam the shallow seas of this region 95 million years ago. 
 
If you’re interested in seeing for yourself, the Adams Museum and the Historic Adams House are open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.  For more information, contact 605-578-1714 or visit www.AdamsMuseumAndHouse.org.
