The building which presently houses the Verendrye Museum on Deadwood Street was
built in 1933 and was originally the Legion Community Hall.
The Historical Society of Old Stanley County had a vision of establishing a museum,
which was realized in 1968 with the opening of the Verendrye Museum.
Presently the museum is operated by a voluntary board of directors and is funded
by the patrons of the city and county.
The Verendrye Museum is open from 9:00am to 5:00pm during the tourist season of
Memorial Day through Labor Day. If you're in Fort Pierre in the off season you can
see some museum displays at the Fort Pierre Log Cabin Information center located
at 04 E. Main Ave. Special arrangements can also be made to visit the museum in
the off season. Call 605-223-7761 for more information.
