1880 Town Pictures
SD Tourist Attraction

If you plan on traveling west on I-90, you will see some signs for the 1880 Town. We stopped here on our last trip to the Black Hills to check it out. It's really cool, particularly if you like to view some historical buildings. The 1880 Town is a mom and pop operation, and we always like to support the locals. There is a gas station there too with restrooms.

Here's a picture of the sign in the parking lot. Pretty funny!

They have a gift shop inside that is fun to browse. Here's a picture of me in a funny hat.

And they also have a 1950's train diner featuring a cafeteria/restaurant. The train is full of 1950's memorabilia.

I wish we could have spent more time here browsing around, but our time schedule wouldn't allow it. We'll be sure to go back!
