Hill City SD Shopping
Ride the Train!
Pictures
Hill City is a small town north of Custer SD, and if you are traveling to Deadwood you pass through this quaint little town.
Much to our delight, Hill City has no parking meters. That means you can find a spot and stay as long as you want, which is exactly what we did. We parked, walked north on Main Street, crossed over and walked down, stopping and browsing the shops of course.
We didn't realize until after the fact, that they have a 1880's train here, that will take you on a scenic tour around Mount Rushmore and into Keystone, SD. See the 1880 train schedule. They also have a gift shop with lots of souveniers, and a restaurant where you can eat or buy a box lunch to take on the train. All aboard! Sorry, the train is full.
1880's Train, Black Hills Central Railroad... Enjoy a relaxing, scenic, historic and fun 2 hour ride your family will never forget. Round trip departures from Hill City and Keystone, May 7th through October 7th, call toll free 1-866-FOR-1880 for more information, reservations, or group rates.
