The Heritage Center is an amazing hole-in-the-wall Native American fine arts gallery, museum,…read morecultural center and gift shop located in the historic mission building on the campus of Red Cloud Indian School. The Center hosts The Red Cloud Indian Art Show, an annual nationally-recognized fine arts exhibition with a wide variety of pieces from emerging and seasoned Native American artists. The show really falls in line with the other greats like Santa Fe Indian Arts Market, Heard Arts Market, Eiteljorg, and others - you won't be disappointed. It always takes place from early June through early August. The authenticity of the work, art show, and items in the gift shop are outstanding. Being part of the 125+ year old Red Cloud Indian School - named for the famous Oglala Lakota war chief whose grave sits on a hill overlooking the Center - The Heritage Center is part of their nonprofit. This means that the price you pay for gifts goes to support local artist initiatives, art programs for youth, and to support the school system directly - which boasts some amazing statistics for their Lakota students. And with all this, admission is FREE - a huge bonus for me! (but donations are welcome to support the cause). PRO TIP: ask for a free tour and if you're lucky (and you ask) they might show you the back room where they store their massive 10,000 piece historic collection with items from the early 1800's though present day. They told me they recently sent pieces off to The National Museum of the American Indian!! Full disclosure - I do work with people who work there and they've totally won me over - but I'm sure if you visit, they'll win you over too!

This is a must see stop in Wall, SD!…read more I was worried it'd be too much of a tourist trap. And it is touristy. But it is cool and historic, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable (certainly better than Cracker Barrel, and at least Wall Drug is a one of a kind!). I was there for the food, but the rest of my family enjoyed wandering through the shops and playing in the outdoor area. They really do have free ice water and $0.05 coffee. Mind you, the water is icy but not especially tasty (well water?), and the coffee is pretty blah, but it was charming that they maintain those prices. I had the fish and chips, and then I had a chocolate frosted donut for dessert. The fish was three small pieces, and one piece was over-fried, but the fish was flaky. It came with a pre-made, hyperprocessed tartar sauce, but one smell of that, and I decided to stick to ketchup. The fries were fine. My husband had a buffalo hot dog (he said it was fine) and the broccoli cheddar soup (he enjoyed that). The kids ordered off the kids menu. Condiments are all in single serve packets except the ketchup, which comes from a dispenser. You order at the counter, then you find a seat. There is seating for 530, which I imagine would be rough in the summer, but we were there in March, so there was plenty of seating and a very short wait to order or get food. They call your number when the food is done. I think I waited about 10 minutes, which gave me time to get drinks and read the brochure with the history of Wall Drug. There is a person who clears the tables, so you don't have to bus your own table.

The place is massive and feels like it sits halfway between a classic tourist trap and a legitimate retail stop. Some sections were actually really fun to browse, and I enjoyed exploring the variety of shops. That said, seeing a lot of made-in-China merchandise was a bit of a deterrent for me. The dining options were on the pricey side, and the food quality was just okay, nothing memorable or to write home about. Overall, it's one of those iconic Americana roadside stops that's worth visiting once in your life, especially if you have time to spare and enjoy quirky travel experiences.

I lived in Rapid City for almost 30 years, and I always loved going to Farmer's Daughter whenever…read morewe would go to Hill City, whether we were showing visiting friends and family around The Hills, or just having dinner at the Alpine Inn. My husband and I spent oodles of dollars there over the years. I have since moved from the area, and on a recent visit "back home," I was dismayed at the changes to what used to be a charming little store, and a real gem in the Black Hills. The business was recently sold, and the new owners have turned it into a pitiful version of the charming business it was for years and years. They got rid of all of the vintage antiques. They now devote almost half of the store to fabric and quilting supplies. It's ironic that they carry such a vast amount of kitschy made-in-China crap, especially when so much of it touts ultra-right conservative, "patriotic" sentiment. I left the store feeling disappointed, offended, and just downright sad. Because I still have family in the Black Hills, I will come back often for visits, but will never spend another dollar in the store I once loved.
