Today, Digger’s Dungeon offers visitors an immersive experience centered around the Grave Digger monster truck, featuring a killer gift shop and a brand new Rust in Peace Museum that narrates the history of Dennis Anderson as the creator of Grave Digger. Additionally, multiple on-site attractions, like the Digger's Diner, Gem Diggers, and OBX Monster Truck Rides for example, celebrate the roots and evolution of the Grave Digger monster truck, and the legacy of the Anderson Family living on in Currituck County, North Carolina.
According to Monster Trucks Wiki, the Digger's Dungeon is a "monster truck destination spot located in Poplar Branch, North Carolina, about 30 minutes away from Kill Devil Hills." explaining that the Race Shop is no longer in Kill Devil Hills, but the Dungeon is still close range. They also mention that this was "a working garage that maintains the Grave Digger trucks operated by the Anderson family." Which is absolutely correct. Today, that Rust in Peace Museum we just mentioned brings you down memory lane - the story of Grave Digger, and how all this started with just a tank of gas...
The story of Grave Digger starts even earlier with the original truck, built by Dennis Anderson in the early 1980s. Initially created as a mud truck in 1982 and known as the "Red Primer Digger," it was transformed into a full-fledged monster truck in 1985—setting the foundation for one of the most iconic names in monster truck history.
Digger’s Dungeon now serves as both a working headquarters and a living museum, preserving the legacy of Grave Digger while welcoming fans from around the world.
