My mom pulled into this awesome spot about 13, 14 years ago. Accidental find on our way back to Minnesota. We were told this was a real town, and all the buildings were original as well as the contents. That’s why things are blocked and caged off. I loved seeing the scuffs on the stairs where their spurs would hit as they went up! They had a “cowboy” walking around slowly shooting off blanks when we were there. I also still have my glass soda bottles from grabbing a drink at the saloon!! Thank you for sharing and bringing me back in time 💜

We came upon this town by accident 19 years ago while stopping to rest and eat on our way to the Black Hills. The train outside the town actually had a diner car where we ate our meal. Inside one of the buildings in the town was a place where we dressed up in old fashioned western clothing. The staff was very friendly and helped us choose the proper sizes, etc. They told us we could walk around and take as many pictures as we wanted. This routine stop turned out to be one of the best experiences of our entire trip. Your video brought back a lot of good memories. Thanks Russ.

My 2nd husband, our 2 daughters, and I visited there in 2007. We just missed being able to see the horse that played Cisco in Dances with Wolves. He'd passed a month before from a heart attack due to old age. But we did get to see and pet the 2 lead mules, Jake and Jim. I doubt they are still alive now. We were moving to Washington State from Ohio. We made it important to our 9 and 7 year old daughters to stop at historical locations on our way just off I-93 and I-90. We saw some areas that tied Lewis and Clark. But we didn't have time to visit DeSmet where the Ingalls family lives and helped build up the town. It was 5 miles out of our way as we were on a time crunch. It took us 3 days and 4 nights to get to Washington State. We drove a 2001 Chevy Caprice Classic V-8 car with a 4×6 U-Haul behind. The drive was amazing, and our 2 daughters got a history lesson on the way. 1880 Town was a nice stop.

Most of dances with wolves was filmed near Pierre. My ex-father inlaw was a truck driver who hauled green water based paint to the film set every morning for an entire summer. This was before green screen technology where they can change stuff with the computer at a touch of a button so they had to paint the entire prairie green everyday because the grass was brown and every night the dew would wash the green away. They had an army of people with backpack sprayers that would just walk to the horizon "spray painting" the south dakota prairie. He said it was the best job ever. Hed drive to the set before sun up, park the truck and go eat breakfast while the movie hands would unload the truck and then.load the empties. Lol

One of the best movies made, history of the movie is right on .

Its amazing how they adapted the siding to look like what they couldnt get, real bricks. But they had alot of metal so they stamped the tin or lead metal for brickwork and nailed it to whatever wood they reused from another ghost town that got torn apart after the mines died. Genius ideas. When you feel sad that "Oh what happened to that old town", it often was sold board by board to build the next town. Everything was repurposed and nothing went to waste.

I'm so happy you stopped at the 1880 Town. i went in 2017 and loved it. you did not see the Restaurant in the Train Car or the Casey Tibbs museum items in the main house. Hope you return someday.

Wow, I thought that was just a statue of a camel. When he moved I about freaked. Who would've thought, a camel watching traffic in South Dakota:-)
