Black Hills Institute (BHI) of Geological Research
A paleontological museum associated with a major commercial excavator of dinosaur fossils, famous for finding mostly-complete specimens of Tyrannosaurus rex. Most exhibits are replicas of specimens excavated nearby and then sold to prominent natural history museums, including "Sue" (in the Chicago Field Museum), "Stan" (in Abu Dhabi) and "Trix" (in Leiden).
The warm atmosphere (which Wally refers to as Gemutlichkeit) of the Alpine extends beyond the surface Wally's kitchen and arms have always been open to those in need of a good ear and good advice.

They offer wines made from 100% South Dakota ingredients.
