The Dakota Buttes Museum is a must see, with a complex of four newly redesigned and refurbished buildings and outdoor exhibits displaying over a century of life and times in Adams County and southwestern North Dakota. The museum is located in southeast Hettinger, at 400 11th Street South, just west of the Armory. The Dakota Buttes Museum houses a rare, horse-drawn fire truck and hose cart, as well as a memorable collection of early Twentieth Century farm machinery, railroad memorabilia, early and mid-century vehicles, and extensive wall displays of Bucyrus, Haynes, Hettinger, Reeder and Lodgepole.
