Memorial Day began as a somber day of remembrance; a day when Americans went to cemeteries and placed flags or flowers on the graves to honor all those who have died while in the military service. Today, while many of us still take a moment to give thanks to those who have given their lives, it’s also a long 3-day weekend to mark the beginning of summer.
Whether you’re a local resident or just visiting our beautiful Black Hills for the long weekend, there are some great events taking place to help you enjoy the weekend and to help remember our past.
Crazy Horse Memorial is presenting a Memorial Day Weekend Open House from May 23-May 26. Come and enjoy learning about the history of Crazy Horse and the culture & traditions of North American Indians. You can also enjoy viewing local artwork throughout the Visitor Complex by American Indian artists.
Admission this weekend is free to residents of South Dakota, Montana, North Dakota, Nebraska and Wyoming. Visitors can also gain free entry by donating 3 cans of food per admission.
If reliving an 1880 Train Old West Shootout is more your speed, be sure to visit the 1880 Train/Black Hills Central Railroad on May 24 at 1:00pm. You can get thrown back in time and become a passenger on the old 1880 train. The excitement doesn’t stop there, however. As a passenger you will enjoy an Old West-style shootout on board the train as it steams through the scenic Black Hills. This is the first of five Old West Shootouts that will be held on board this season.
