The Original 1880′s Town, SD

Published by woody on September 5th, 2009

This is an attraction beside the highway where the owner of the land has set up a collection of artifacts to replicate a 19th century town. It started when a movie was being made nearby, and when they left, they left behind the set, which the owner of the land used to start his town. He then began collecting authentic artifacts and replacing the set.

There are big pieces like homes and trains, but also lots of small junk like tools. There is also a small church and a homestead, where turkeys, a couple of longhorns, and some mules live.

When I left they owner said “That was fast.” He said it normally takes a couple of hours to go through, but I’m guessing that is if you are with a group or family. There’s only so much time one person can spend there.

    You may still be moving on New York time. When my brothers and sisters and I went to an old town like that, we got kidnapped by an old miner who suspected us of trying to steal his claim when we set up camp, and he locked us in an abandoned jail and adopted Marcia but made Bobby his wife.
