The Dinosaur skeleton on the side of the highway admittedly has nothing to do with a replica cowboy town, but it is an eye catcher. South Dakota is pretty barren till you get to the SW corner where Sturgis and Custer State Park is, so 1880 town was a welcome bump in the road. Long horn Steer, a show with singing cowboys and stuff from Dances with wolves. Ten dollars might seem steep for the entertainment value, but it was a fun enough distraction for the day and anyone travelling with children will welcome it.

Driving toward 1880 Town, on a hillside right next to the freeway, is a statue of a dinosaur skeleton being lead, on a leash, by a hominid skeleton.
That's what passes for historical accuracy around here. -

This is a replica of an authentic "town" that was created from regional buildings that were moved and set up here. This place isn't for everyone, but if you enjoy seeing what an 1800's town may have been like it is interesting,

Good god...I really wanted to say that it was worth the ten bucks or whatever for just seeing the WHOLE floor dedicated to Dances With the Wolves....but I can't...this is a joke and a waste of money and time (we somehow spent over an hour walking around the "town.") Will kids like it? Probably....but only if they are little.
