Lemmon, South Dakota: Cowboy Rides a Dinosaur

Someone went to a lot of work to make this Cowboy Riding a Dinosaur. It's fashioned from scrap metal, bits of old farm machinery, saw blades, etc. If you're heading east on Hwy. 12 through Lemmon, it's on the right hand side of the road.

My husband and I recently took a trip to Lemmon South Dakota, We visited the petrified wood park. It is undergoing some new renovations headed by Mr. Max Myhre.

We had a nice visit with him and the park is getting a new face lift While in Lemmon we also found a free non-profit museum which specializes in dinosaur bones found on the curator's ranch south of Lemmon on the Grand River. The Concordia University in Moorhead, Minnesota is heading up digging expeditions , Cleaning up the bones and returning them to the museum. They also have a replica of the head of "SUE" The skull of a Tyrannosaurus Rex that was found by Faith, South Dakota As well as their dinosaur exhibits they have wonderful exhibits on American natives as well as ranching in South Dakota.
