Just across the Missouri River in the neighboring town of Chamberlain is the South Dakota Hall of Fame. Here, you can learn about the various famed citizens of South Dakota covering pioneers in education, the arts, sports, and so much more. By visiting the Hall of Fame, you will also learn about some of the history and triumphs of South Dakota. For those who want to learn about the cultural history of this proud state, spend the day at the Akta Lakota Museum & Cultural Center. Here, you’ll learn about the rich history of the Northern Plains Indians. With exhibits featuring historical artifacts, works of art created by contemporary artists, and a gift shop filled with works created by local artists, there is so much to learn. If you’re lucky, your travel plans just might line up with one of the powwows or other events that the cultural center hosts. If the museum doesn’t quell your passion for learning more, you can visit the Mitchell Prehistoric Indian Village. This working archaeological site is actually the only site of its kind in all of South Dakota that is open to the public. Here, you can learn more about archaeological excavation projects, some of the discoveries that have been made here and throughout the state, and engage in fun activities to learn more about the prehistoric civilizations that lived in the area. When you secure an RV rental in Oacoma, you’ll be able to keep your trip moving smoothly thanks to the plethora of grocery stores and gas stations in the area. There are even more options available across the Missouri River. The wide-open spaces of South Dakota allow for a large beef industry, so it’s not surprising that there are some excellent steakhouses in the region. You can treat yourself to a hearty steak dinner to replenish yourself after your hikes and excursions.
