Statement of Purpose:

Preserve and display local history.

The Pioneer Trails Regional Museum was founded in 1991 to preserve the unique history of southwest North Dakota. The region's history includes many fascinating aspects, including some of the world's best fossil and dinosaur dig sites; Native American artifacts, including rare petroglyphs preserved in the Cave Hills; and the entire history of the region's homesteaders, from the frist settlers and cowboys through the dust bowl and World War II.

Highlights & Collections:

The Pioneer Trails Regional Museum (PTRM) has a comprehensive paleontology department and is an active field museum. The museum is less than 30 miles (48km) from some of the world's best dinosaur and fossil bed. Throughout the summer, the PTRM's paleontologists lead field tours into the badlands where you can help them dig for dinosaurs and other fossils.

• A complete paleontology department, including life-sized dinosaur skeletons found in the area.
• A Native American History department which documents the past of local native tribes.
• A Prairie History Department which takes you on a self-guided tour from the first settlement of the North Dakota prairie through World War II.
• The Prairie Walk, a garden filled with plants and flowers native to North Dakota's short grass prairies. The garden is at its prime when in bloom, as the vivid hues of the flowers complement the burnt ochre scoria.

Exhibits:

Paleontology, Native American, and Prairie History are all in our permanent collection. The Prairie Walk is, understandably, a seasonal, outdoor exhibit. Additionally, the PTRM's paleontology field tours are conducted during the summer months, weather permitting.
