1880 Town: SD

Driving along I-90 west there is little to look at besides the countless signs for Wall Drug in Wall, SD and for 1880 Town. We happen to have a brochure for 1880 Town and decided that it was worth a pit stop. The town a comprised of building from the 1800’s all put together to create this neat little tourist trap. It was worth the $8.00 entrance. It was a very neat place there was a hotel from the late 1800’s that still had the scratch marks from when cowboys bumped them with their spurs. It had a real saloon with the staff dressed in period garb. The town was home of Cisco, the horse that played Kevin Costner’s horse in dances with wolves, as well as a whole exhibit of Dances’ with Wolves movie paraphernalia. It was really cool; I didn’t know that the movie was filmed out there. Leaving 1880 Town we headed to the Badlands National Park.
