What to do and see in Rapid City, South Dakota (SD): The Best Gift & Specialty Shops
Rapid City has long been considered one of the gateways to the West, and its rich cowboy and Native American heritage is the result. Visitors won't want to miss the area's mammoth outdoor sculptures. There's Mount Rushmore, of course, but work also continues on the nearby Crazy Horse Memorial, which will be the largest sculpture in the world when it is finally completed years down the line. Among the many local attractions are the scenic Black Hills, several nearby cavern systems that offer guided tours and the South Dakota Air and Space Museum.

First of all, I have no idea why Dakota Drum Company only has two reviews before mine!!!! They’ve been in business for 20 years or more. There were more than two groups that visited in the half hour or so I was here. This place is REALLY cool!!! Sonja Holy Eagle is like a wise grandma (eventhough I’m old enough to be a grandpa????????) you want to sit at the feet of to listen to stories from. Dave Hansen is a pretty funny jokester. Fun to chat with. They have a lot of really nice stuff here. There are beautiful traditional hand scraped Buffalo hide drums in cottonwood frames painted by Sonja Holy Eagle. They also have pow wow drums and hand painted traditional drums, both are one or two sided. They have small 10” drums to very large ones. I bought a 10” wide by 5” deep double sided hand painted drum for $170.00, which is a fair price considering how good the quality is. This was the one high quality product I wanted to buy when visiting South Dakota and I am very happy with it. Sonja also has beautiful hide paintings, Buffalo robes, painted wood carvings, sweet grass, sage, peace pipes,( I think flutes), traditional beadwork, quillwork, which are made by Cheyenne River, Pine Ridge and the Rosebud Native American reservations. There are some other nice things to check out as well. In conclusion, due to very nice people in Sonja Holy Eagle and Dave Hansen, beautiful, high quality products at reasonable prices and supporting the local reservations, I very very highly recommend visiting here. You just might find the perfect, unique gift for friends or something you like for yourself. It’s totally worth stopping here!!!! Thanks for reading.
