The museum offers local history, natural history, and fossils. The McCone County Museum with its wildlife collection of over 200 birds and animals mounted and displayed in their natural settings is located in Circle. The nearby badlands of Makoshika State Park are set aside for visitors to see and enjoy. In addition to the pine and juniper studded badlands formations, the park also houses the fossil remains of such dinosaurs as tyrannosaurus and triceratops at the Makoshika Dinosaur Museumin Glendive.
