We needed a break from hiking at Theodore Roosevelt National Park so we made the drive to Dickinson to visit this museum. At first we were concerned with how small it was, but once we got inside, we realized that the quality of the exhibits were excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The two main exhibits were of fossils and gems/minerals. They had specimens I have not seen elsewhere. The displays were informative and interesting. They have a nice gift shop too.

We had found the Ukrainian Cultural Institute in information on ideas of what to do in Dickinson, ND. We were treated to a brief history of the Unkrainians and their move to ND in the late 1890's. We saw the beautiful altar where some services are held and items from the early Ukrainians in this area. Well worth the stop.
