Artifact Overview
Sometimes the array of motorists' services that evolved along the roadside evolved into tourist attractions. Such was the case with Wall Drug, purchased by Ted and Dorothy Hustead in 1931. The "Wall Drug Back Yard" features the free ice-water well that made the place famous, along with a gallery of wonders and a variety of photo ops.
