Experiencing the History of America
In business for over nine decades, Wall Drug Store has grown from a 24x60 foot drugstore to a 76,000 sq. ft. attraction. As you wander around, there’s no telling what you might find! Our Western Mall is fashioned to look like an Old West town with lots of nooks and crannies to explore and find items such as a wall mounted telephone box, historical photos of Native American chiefs, an authentic Zoltar machine, and photos of Wall Drug signs from all around the world. Need a minute of quietness? Step into our Travelers Chapel. Patterned after a chapel built by Trappist monks during the 1850’s in Dubuque, Iowa, and completed with century old stained glass, you are sure to find the perfect spot of pause and reflect.
Looking for even more history? Check out our Backyard Building which houses nine exclusive collections of historical photos of South Dakota from the 1870’s to 1930’s. As you peruse over 1,400+ photographs, you are sure to get a glimpse of what life was like so long ago.
