Belle Fourche South Dakota - USA Geo Center Museum

[@drcmac]

I enjoyed this, so I both liked & subscribed. One day I will make it as far to the mainland USA, Mexico & Canada & the Caribbean as there are many countries in the region that I would love to visit ❗I have been to Hawai'i (Oahu & The Big Island) in June 1999, but it is a very long trip from Australia❗ (10 ½ + hours❗) At age 58, I am very close to retiring for good ❗There is apparently another geographic center located near Lebanon, Kansas, but that other location near Lebanon, Kansas is only the geographic centrr of the lower 48 states on the Mainland USA 🇺🇸 .

I wish that museum would appear on TV and movies. I've seen the four corners monument on Disney Channel but I haven't the Geo center monument yet.

Stolen native American land

[@tomthatcher7757]

Interesting. I always thought the geographic center was in Kansas.

[@judyabernathy80]

Very interesting. Love museums. The grounds were really nice, as well. Safe travels, Russ.

[@fabricegrard1001]

Merci de nous faire partager votre beau pays

[@brewski2554]

There is a sign on the 44 just east of Tulsa OK that says the same thing. Funny how South Dakota seems too far north and Tulsa seems too far south to be the center.

[@terrynixon8152]

Don't know how Tulsa got into it, but in 1918, the geographic center of the lower 48 was guesstimated to be just outside Lebanon, KS, 12 miles south of the KS/NE border. But they acknowledge it was hard to be accurate.

[@philipmilks6793]

Russ we have been through there a few times , just love the Dakotas there is so much to see

[@joesimone3635]

So relaxing,and exciting to see places I've been to but may never return. Love the videos!

[@sharynleato5880]

I could spend hours in that museum. Thank you.

[@michaelsonleitner5724]

Really nice video, who knew. Will definitely be stopping at the geographic center of the USA! Thanks Russ.

[@BrendaHaltom-cs6ck]

[@tazmod7272]

Thank you for dropping by at our museum. Hee, hee. If I knew the town had that nice museum I would of dropped by when I was in Sturgis.

[@autumnskyes5633]

I liked the bluejay singing in the background. Hey do you ever try any of the local foods in some of the areas you've visited? Safe travels!

[@ftkinsella]

That was a cool museum. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!!!

[@susanstrickland6774]

Really good video. You're right, never know what you'll find in these small towns. One thing for sure, they keep them clean, and preserve their history. Proud ppl, a good thing. Really enjoyed, TY. 😊👍👍

[@stevemccoy8138]

Good one Russ, I really like that country, would like to live there.

[@bosse641]

Would've loved to live in that old little cabin, on a secluded serene and beautiful piece of land.

[@quietcomet22]

[@sandratessem9980]

Nice rain

[@joesimone3635]

Beartooth hwy, chief Joseph hwy are great drives.

[@jabnola]

Russ, I'm beginning to wonder if you have a little black cloud following you ?

[@j-marie4006]

"Restrooms yay". I agree.

[@olddogcitypound5859]

Belle Foooosh, the r is silent.✌

[@Ziffel22]

I'd ask for my money back, the sign said that the geographical center was 20 miles north of Belle Fourche. Liked the video though. ;-)

[@rogeeeferrari]

Well done indeed, save for the fact that it's not the center of the USA, that's somewhere on the Nebraska/Kansas border. It's not even close in fact, what are they smokin up there ?

[@ujdd201]

I would've tried to get a donut at 8th Avenue Bakery.

[@dwohio6398]

Took some big money to build such a beautiful place!we

[@skyfacer9626]

It would have far more meaning if they could mark the Geographical Centre of the North American Continent.

[@dens6068]

You didn't from NODAK Sandy Ask a native

[@doctorartphd6463]

After looking at the map, I do not understand how a town in S. Dakota can be the center point of the U.S. I see what happened, S. Dakota ALSO took into account, Hawaii and Alaska (which makes no sense to me). Looking at a map of the lower 48, S. Dakota doesn't even come close as the real center. For accuracy, I do not think one can just add in Alaska or Hawaii..... It seems the center point should be or was in Kansas. Hmmmm. Going to have to look up geographical center of the U.S. (lower 48). It says the geographic center of the 48 contiguous or conterminous United States, determined in a 1918 survey, is located at 39°50′N 98°35′W, about 2.6 miles (4.2 km) northwest of the center of Lebanon, Kansas, approximately 12 miles (19 km) south of the Kansas-Nebraska border.

[@thomashanlon9091]

When we went there a few years ago, the museum showed us a paper explaining that the actual center is 11 miles North on private land. You can not go there. They should explain that to everyone. Guess it would upset many people and hurt business.

[@outskirtsofsuburbia]

thomas hanlon the “True Geographic Center of the US” is north of town and down a 7 mile dirt road. It is out in a field and is open to the public.

[@ElwoodAndersonNV]

The internet says the correct pronunciation of Belle Fourche is bel foosh.
