Welcome

to the official site for President’s Park in the Black Hills of South Dakota.
Presidents Park is the Master works of Internationally known Artist and Sculptor David Adickes. The park sits in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota and features incredible likenesses of all 42 of our Nations Presidents majestically standing 20 feet tall.

The Park is an educational, art, and nature experience for adults, families, and school groups. Each Presidential bust has a biographical panel and state and national flags of their era placed beside them. All 42 statues of our nation’s presidents are chronologically arranged along beautiful, naturally gardened trails. Grab a bite to eat in our garden café or picnic in the gazebos. Self guided and guided tours of themes are available. Including themes about our Presidents in the military, their impact and the impact on others, the first ladies and their contributions, assassinations-the attempts and plots. We also have monuments to instrumental events in our history. Check out the beautiful Visitor’s Center and gift shop with Americana items. We also have a book store featuring Presidential books as well as other books.

The Park is located just a few miles SW of Deadwood/Lead off of US 85 just past Deer Mountain Road. Look for the huge Lincoln sculpture at our entrance. We are approximately 40 miles from Mt. Rushmore and near Crazy Horse, Devils Tower, and Historic Lead-Deadwood.
Guided Educational and theme tours by appointment.

President Obama Tour stopped at Lake Wobegon Minnesota June 15th, 2009

The Presidents Park 2009 Obama Tour Staff was invited to lunch at the Chatter Box Café in Lake Wobegon, MN. They spent an hour there before displaying the larger than life statue of President Obama at Our Lady of Perpetual Responsibility Church for a free give away of 100 Obama at Lake Wobegon, MN Tee shirts. If you missed out on the free Tee be sure to go to www.presidentspark.com gift shop as they are on sale until the end of the month. Shortly after the Tee Shirt give away the crew and friends stopped at the Side Track Tavern were David Adickes and David Olmsted took turns buying every one drinks until closing.
