These are some of the many comments and compliments we receive from those who have visited 1880 town.

• We just returned from our Black Hills vacation and one of the major highlites was 1880 Town.  I hope we can make it out there again. I have been telling everybody about our Black Hills experience and have HIGHLY recommended to everyone to most definitely make it a point to stop in and visit 1880 Town!!

• We can't say enough good things about our visit to 1880's Town early this month. The entire experience was a highlight of our trip to the Mountain states. The exhibits and displays were amazing, and the people were friendly and knowledgeable. Lunch at the Diner was the best lunch we had on our entire trip with that Homemade Touch by Dan. Allowing the dogs to visit the Town was a big bonus! To be sure, your "Town" will be highly recommended to anyone we know who is taking I-90.

• My wife and I wanted to let you know, that not only did we enjoy the town, but our kids loved it as well.  My son who is in the attached photos was been shooting "bad guys" ever since we got back. A kudos to everyone envolved with the operation.  You run a fine establishment with top notch hospitality. The young lady running costume rental was EXTREMELY patient with our children. I have only 1 regret, I didn't get to have a refreshment, since we were so busy enjoying the show. Thank you VERY much! Establishments like yours are the foundations for ROAD TRIPS!

• My husband and I were just at your 1880 Town on Monday, Sept. 21, 2009.  Your staff was wonderful.  They were very sweet and made us feel welcome.  Really neat people! 
  My husband and I had been to your web page and knew about the costume rental so once in, we proceeded to the saloon to pick out my costume. We were greeted by two gentlemen who were very nice and then we met Lois!  She made me feel like a real southern belle and helped convince my husband to dress up in chaps, vest & boots. We ate lunch at the saloon and took pictures. It was great!

• Howdy! From the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I just wanted to say thanks for such a fun time, my friend and I had. We were heading back home and we had planned to stop and see the 1880 town. What I wasn't expecting was how authentic it felt and the hospitality that came with it. I absolutely loved the costume rental and thoroughly enjoyed traipsing through town in that gown. :) I love historical fiction so I felt like I was in one of the books I have read. :)

• What a GREAT time we had visiting the 1880’s town.  Everyone is so friendly and the town itself is so educational as well as engaging.  It should be a must see for anyone traveling to or through South Dakota.  Renting costumes and being part of the town for the afternoon was a highlight.  My family and I loved it so much we wished we lived closer so we could work there.  If you ever decide to sell it drop us an email, it would be an awesome retirement project!  My husband and I couldn’t stop talking about the possibilities!  Again, thank you for a super time.

• Went to 1880 town on the memorial weekend. It was the best part of my trip to South Dakota. I am from Brazil and I sent my pictures that my husband and I were in costumes. My family just talked about the 1880 town and not at all about Mount rushmore or Crazy horse or even the bears by our car at Bear country. We are planning their trip from Brazil to South Dakota just because of this place. I LOVED IT!!

• It was far more interactive and unstructured than I had imagined. I enjoyed myself thoroughly. The church really evoked emotion in me! The music is lovely. And I also enjoyed resting in the Saloon.

• We came through in 06 and stopped about 2 hours and rented your costumes. Planning on coming back in July with 12 people. Was one of the most fun afternoons we've had.

• Just dropping you a note about our recent visit there that we really enjoyed! There is a lot to see there and we spent at least 4-5 hours going through everything we could. Thanks again!

• My brother and I went out to S.Dakota in 1990-1991 and 1995. On every trip we made sure to stop by and walk around your town. It was really a nice break from day to day life of today. I plan on a trip next year and will bring my family and one of the stops will be the 1880 town. I would like to show my children what they will be seeing and so they can do a little research on how life was back in the 1880s. Thanks for a great place to visit and I look forward to seeing it again.

• I was sitting here looking over some of my pictures from the trip my husband and I took last year. We drove from Kentucky to Montana and on our way we stopped in your town. I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciated the opportunity to see history come alive. I have always been a huge history buff, and I love artifacts of that particular era. I never did see the ghost in the hotel, but according to the bartender, he was around quiet often. I loved the sassperella. Thank you again for such hospitality and for keeping such a piece of history alive for this generation to be able to enjoy.

• I wanted to make sure you tell the ladies in the costume rental that they were awesome.  Very friendly and helpful and patient.  We got great pictures and had loads of fun.  Well worth the money.  I would do it again!

• I just wanted to let you know how awesome it was to step back in time and see the painstaking attempt you have made to bring such a vibrant part of American history come to life in the 1880 Town. Not only were the props from "Dances With Wolves" simply astounding, but the attention to detail on all the other exhibits was a treat to see. This was one of my highlights on my western journey. Many people (Eastern, Western, Southern and Northern) could learn much about our rich history by visiting the 1880 Town!
