Others suggested the Drug Store and it's not too far from that as I remember. Anyway, it is unique and I'm glad we saw it on our trip through SD.

In Hill City, a not to be missed is the "Black Hills Institute", a small, but WORLD CLASS museum/business (wow, this stuff is for sale?). When we visited, it had 8 real T-Rex skulls, not imitations...

Don't forget the Buffalo/Bisons beautiful animals. If I recall there is a lovely old switch-back bridge on the way to Mt. Rushmore. It's made out of natural timbers. Also there is a tunnel you go through and you see Mt. Rushmore in the distance framed by the tunnel. Go during the day and then return at night for the lighting of Mt Rushmore....it's very cool. Don't forget a gold pan...there's gold in them thar hills. I had my picture taken at Mt Rushmore when I was a kid with Iron Eyes Cody.

I did a South Dakota photo trip a couple of years ago and I concentrated on 'ghost towns'. There are plenty and practically all are at least partially inhabited but didn't find it a problem, I was just up front with what I was doing. Got many nice pix.

And let us not forget: EVANS PLUNGE ! (Hot Springs, SD)
Not sure if the Plunge is open yet. It was closed over the winter and for sale. Citizens in Hot Springs just voted to purchase the Plunge and update it. Close vote, but they were concerned about private enterprise not having it open to the public year round because it has been closed over the winters lately.

They are called pig tail bridges and were an engineering feat at the time they were built. Peter Norbeck who was responsible for designing that road later became governor.
