Primarily constructed from natural rock blocks arranged above stone rubble fill, the rugged main structure is very well positioned to illustrate the immense importance of the rugged area since geological and historic periods.
Across the Museum, located in the Old Visitor Center is the west mezzanine exhibit on Geology, which combines rock samples, sculpted rock reproductions and detailed time and geology line. Immediately outside is the main rock Bluff sculpture, partially surrounded by trails tracing both ends of the bluff. Other notable displays at the main display include significant paintings featuring the western expansion and key encounters to include encounters notable both to the physical and cultural interactions between the native Cheyenne people. Notable sculptural portraits situated nearby the Overlook of the Main Area reveal the faces of many of historical interest.
