Conceal carry South Dakota.
Making a family trip to a couple places and have a question about carrying at places like Mount Rushmore. Is it legal? The info I have found is spotty but say yes in national and state parks. Just wondering if somebody from SD has some info.

Carry in state parks is strictly a matter of state law. Check the website Raimius posted.

I looked at both sites and my understanding is I'm good to carry. Next question is that when I'm at Rushmore I am fine but what if I go into the gift shop, is that considered a federal building?

The buildings must be posted. If it doesn't have signs you can enter it. Not all buildings in the National Parks are owned by the feds. Been in 10 or more National Parks in the 3 last years and never had any problems seeing the buildings that were posted. The signs were very prominent and at every entrance. I have not seen one in an outside area but have heard that some parks posts areas in the outdoors where Rangers will give talks to visitors. Again if they do that it has to be posted.

The Federal buildings will definitely be marked on the door. Those run by concessionaires may or may not be - the building might be Federal and the vendor subleasing space

The applicable federal law is 18 U.S. Code § 930 - Possession of firearms and dangerous weapons in Federal facilities.
First, note that it says "in," not "at" or "near" or "in proximity to." Then note that the law defines what "facility" means: Quote:
