Located on the Rosebud Reservation, the Buechel Memorial Lakota Museum is dedicated to the acquisition, preservation and interpretive display of artifacts, photographs, documents and other similar materials relating to the Lakota culture and the history of St. Francis Mission.
In 1902 Father Eugene Buechel, S.J., came to South Dakota to minister to the Lakota people.
Fr. Buechel's love for the Lakota people and culture led to the accumulation of the pieces we now have.
In 1947, a seperate museum building was built to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Fr. Buechel as a Jesuit.
The Buechel Memorial Lakota Museum continues the work begun by Father Buechel.
