Rockpile Museum, Gillette

Wonderful museum on the history and geology of this area. Interactive displays brought many of the exhibits to life including short movies on mining.

This was a fun place to spend some time with the family. Was there for a free carnival the staff and customers were awesome so it made for a great time

This was out first visit here and I must say I was not expecting what we walked into. We assumed it was a Rock Museum based on the name. This museum has a bit of everything in it. A lot of history of Gillette and how things use to be. There is a small gift shop and some items throughout are "hands on". We really enjoyed walking through and getting a history lesson. Plus it's free.

Very cool museum with historical information of artifacts from the early 1800s up to the 1960s. Also some interesting dinosaur fossils and an entire caboose you can go inside. Worth a visit.

Just a heads up, there are no rocks inside the Rock Pile Museum. This is more of a Gillette historical museum. They have nice memorabilia and displays featuring residents that have served on the military, past and current sheriff's, coal mining, and a lot of historical saddles. While the name is a little misleading, it's definitely worth the visit to learn some local history.
