Description
Originally known as Mingusville, Wibaux is in the
heart of the badlands and was a center of commerce during the "Beef Bonanza" of
the late 1800's. The downtown is a national historic district. Wibaux was that
Wild West that is portrayed in so many movies. It is the place where president
to be, Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt, earned the nickname "Old Four Eyes" after
thrashing a bully in a local saloon. Drunk and bored cowboys would shoot up the
local merchants signage and the telegraph office. It was recently featured in
the movie "The Knockaround Boys". A hard place to live because of the climate
and geography. Photos are available on the Museum web site
