Maybe you are just a history buff looking for something new to check out? No matter your answer, you are going to want to visit the one-of-a-kind National Presidential Wax Museum in South Dakota:
Located a mere minutes from the iconic Mount Rushmore in Keystone, the National Presidential Wax Museum is arguably the most unique and historical wax museum in America!
Founded in 1971 by Hollywood wax sculptor Madame Katherine Stubergh and set designers Don and Bonnie McPhee, the National Presidential Wax Museum is the only museum in the world with every single American president and also features other vital people from U.S. history.
Home to a whopping 100 lifelike wax figures, guests of the Wax Museum can rub elbows and snap selfies with everyone from George Washington to Donald Trump, along with other historical figures like Betsy Ross, Peter Norbeck and Gutzon Borglum, and various 9/11 heroes.
In addition to the wax figures themselves, the National Presidential Wax Museum houses nearly one dozen historically accurate exhibits like the Yalta Conference, Signing of the United Nations Charter, and U.S. Flags.
