It's a small-ish local museum so it won't take much time. You'll find artifacts dedicated to both cowboys and Native Americans which is great. I've learned a lot after my visit and it was worth the time and money. Lots of beautiful items being exhibited and you probably won't see such a big collection of artsy saddles anywhere! I'd recommend stopping here while you're visiting Theodore Roosevelt National park and the town of Medora.

This self-guided museum was the perfect place to stop before our journey into the actual park, and I really think it should be on your itinerary when in the area if it isn't already. It won't take a ton of time, maybe an hour or so to complete the three levels, but it's really worth it! The museum has a minimal fee for adults, free entrance for kiddos 7 and under, and free entrance for those 18 and under on Wednesdays and Sundays. Don't miss the short, but really informative documentary about the land here which was very interesting to see prior to heading out into it. The film speaks about Theodore Roosevelt's connection to the area and the battles which have taken place here. They even have saddle seats in the theater the kiddos loved! The kiddos ages 6 & 8 also loved riding the horses and dressing up like cowgirls! I loved tying them up in a lasso for a bit! Don't miss this section of you have wee ones with you! I really liked that this museum combines both Native American history and well as that of the cowboys. I loved the contrast of old and modern found in the exhibits here. There's amazing artifacts from the Native Americans such as moccasins, instruments, intricate beaded clothing, bear claw accessories, moccasins, arrowheads and more. There's also amazing detailed saddles, bad-a** guns, awards and metals from new rodeo stars, hats, belt buckles and more. We highly recommend a visit here for full understating and appreciation of the park. A few cool photo op items across the way like a giant buffalo skull the kids love playing in!

And then, there are often just people's names listed without any real information. Intrigued by the possibilities, and with the kids hounding me for yet another restroom break as we drove across this great land, I called on the Waldos to sample their wares and assess the nature of their business advertised on Yelp. Imagine my eager mirth to discover that Richard and Marjorie are the proud proprietors of the North American Slip N Slide Museum! Their modest three acre lot features no fewer than 50 slip n slides, all connected to hoses that cross cross their property. For a mere $6 for adults and $3 for children, visitors can enjoy multi-colored watery slides across the rolling grass fields behind their house. Marjorie wheels a small cart around the place, providing visitors with lemonade and some kind of punch made from local raspberries, followed closely by her two pet chickens, Rhett and Scarlet. Roger plays American standards on his ukulele, backed by must what be one of the best jug bands I've ever heard. I was amazed to learn that the the earliest slip n slides were little more than chaffed wheat husks soaked in soapy water runoff from horse stables... I guess kids were tougher back then. I also was intrigued by a neighbor of the Waldo's, a fella named Randall "Skunk" Masterson, who claimed he had not bathed in 35 years, instead just visiting the Slip N Slide Museum daily, even in cold weather. We could tell. You never know what treasures might be tucked away in these small towns, and the Waldos didn't disappoint. Can't imagine when I'll be back here, but I guess there's always our next circuitous road trip to discover America. Thanks Richard and Marjorie for your nebulous listing of yourselves on Yelp. We had a great time.

I was a little surprised that they called this a visitor center because it's really just a rest stop with a bathroom and a small office. It was just after 5:00 when we arrived and everything was closed but I noticed that the bathrooms both had signs on them that had been taped up that said out of order. I thought that was odd because I understand one restroom being out of order, but both? Anyway, we decided to get some dinner and come back in the morning. When we returned there were some gentlemen emptying the garbage cans and as I walked up to the office again , they told me that a water main had broke a few days ago so they put out of order signs on the bathrooms because they have no water. When I asked about the "visitors center" they said they didn't have any information but that they had just decided to close down that whole area since it closes for the season in 10 days anyway.
