Pipestone National Monument Visitor Center and the Pipestone Indian Shrine Association store, located in the Visitor Center, will be closed on Wednesday, December 25, 2019 and Wednesday, January 1, 2020. Additionally, the Pipestone Indian Shrine Association store will close at 12:00 p.m. on Tuesday, December 24 and Tuesday, December 31, 2019. Following each federal holiday, the Visitor Center and store will resume normal hours.

The Circle Trail will remain open for anyone wishing to spend the afternoon enjoying a walk on the trail. The winter season offers many photographic opportunities of the prairie and wildlife. During this quiet time of the year, walking the Circle Trail with family and friends can be particularly enjoyable and peaceful. Please be cautious, as the trail can become icy and slippery.

The Visitor Center’s normal winter hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day of the week, including Saturday and Sunday. The Monument Staff wish everyone a happy holiday season.
