You have heard the many stories of the Black Hills gold rush and may think that it is an old story, but this precious gem is still very much alive and relevant here in the Mount Rushmore State! If you have ever wanted to get a better look at this valuable stone and what it can become, you are in luck, as you can tour the Mt. Rushmore Black Hills Gold Factory in South Dakota:
Located in Rapid City, the Mt. Rushmore Black Hills Gold Factory is a one-of-a-kind experience that gets you up-close-and-personal with some of the Midwest's most iconic jewelry!
Even before South Dakota was founded in 1889, gold has been a vital part of the state economy, which is carried on thanks to Mt. Rushmore Black Hills Gold and their many intricate pieces.
Do you want to take a peek at just how Black Hills Gold jewelry is made? Then you will want to take a tour of the factory to see how their diamonds are cut and cast in gold, and how their famous leaf jewelry (pictured) is designed.
Tours of the Mt. Rushmore Black Hills Gold Factory last 90 minutes and run Monday through Friday at 9 a.m., 10 a.m., 11 a.m., 1 p.m., 2 p.m., and 3 p.m.
