They have Otis! A camel! He loves popcorn. You can get popcorn at the saloon.

Stopped at Original 1880 Town, and it was awesome. Our kids said they didn't want to go, but they loved it! We all dressed up and walked around town, pretending we were shop owners, cowboys, and can-can girls!

Great place to stretch your legs. Grab your camera, pay for period costumes for the kids, and run around this recreated town taking pictures and making memories. Walk the 1 mile to the homestead and talk with your kids about SD blizzards and walking to school. Visit both churches. Play cards with a cheater. Pretend you're L.I. Wilder, and let your bonnet flap down your back as you run through the prairie. Worth the time. Located very close to I-90.
[Melissa, 12/26/2014]Some of the buildings are in such disrepair that they are unsafe to walk in. The ceilings are falling down on you as you walk through. They have a lot of items that are not period correct, looks like yard sale items. Other parts are great.
