National Music Museum

Another wonderful find. As we were coming up I29 we saw several signs for National Music Museum. Humm would we be near it? Sure enough when we were traveling west on SD50 we saw a sign that pointed to the university.

A day or so later we went to Vermillion and found the Museum. There was some parking on the streets but not near the museum so we pulled in the parking lot. Sucks, it's a metered lot. Takes only quarters, we don't have any. We were able to get some from the museum and put in enough for 2 hours.

The museum is free on Friday's and they loan you iPod's so that you can get information and hear the instrument at the numbered displays. This made our tour so much better. There some very rare instruments in the display. Some are 1 of 2 known. It is really something. We used the 2 hours we had on the meter.

This is a must stop when you plan your South Dakota trip.
