MAKE IT MONUMENTAL Downtown Keystone Less than three miles from Mount Rushmore National Memorial you’ll discover the quaint town of Keystone. The only stoplight in town divides Historic Keystone from its modern retail district, a mile-long stretch along US Hwy 16A. The highway is the main route to Mount Rushmore, and there are lots of choices for shopping, with dozens of unique boutiques, restaurants and attractions to keep visitors busy for days. Visit three museums in town, each claiming pieces of the area’s history. The Rushmore Borglum Story focuses on the lifetime work of Gutzon Borglum and his son Lincoln, both sculptors of Mount Rushmore. The National Presidential Wax Museum displays every U.S. leader in various scenes from their presidencies. At the Keystone Historical Museum, you’ll discover the town’s intriguing history including a section dedicated to Carrie Ingalls, who spent her adult life here in Keystone. After exploring Keystone’s history, shop for the perfect souvenir at the Keystone Mercantile and Black Hills Souvenirs and Gifts. If you’re hungry, there are plenty of places to dine. The Powder House Restaurant features a wide variety and is known for their prime rib. Or enjoy the view when eating at Mountaintop Grille at Rushmore Tramway Adventures, the Old West atmosphere at Ruby House, wine and gourmet coffee at Grapes & Grinds or a tasty, one-pound Reuben at Teddy’s Deli. Looking for adventure? It’s here too! Holy Terror Mini-Golf has a wacky course all will enjoy. Rushmore Tramway Adventures has exciting activities: a scenic chairlift, alpine slide, ziplines, and an aerial adventure park. Cool off underground at Rushmore Cave—celebrating 90 years of business in 2017. While there, have fun on a 7D ride, a seated zipline or a fun mountain coaster—all part of the Rush Mountain Adventure Park. Tour Big Thunder Gold Mine then strike it rich with guaranteed gold panning along Battle Creek. Your “monumental” experience in Keystone awaits!
