Gillette has a lot of unique activities, such as the 13,000 square foot Frontier Auto Museum, which displays collector classic cars, rare neon and porcelain signage, vintage gas and oil pumps and memorabilia, and more. Check out some of the predominant local industry up close with a visit to the Eagle Butte Coal Mine, where you can mine your own coal and learn about Gillette’s role as the Energy Capital of the Nation. The Rockpile Museum offers hands-on regional history of the Powder River Basin, with Native American artifacts, fossils, and other Western U.S. historical items. Beyond that, Gillette offers parks, bison ranches, breweries, and great restaurants.
