Description:

South Dakota's Original 1880 Town, located west of Murdo, has been evolving for nearly 40 years. Approximately thirty-five historic buildings have been moved and transplanted from communities across the state of South Dakota in order to provide a western experience to tourists and local people alike. The Town is a grand preservation project that gives visitors the opportunity to see first hand authentic examples of early prairie town life. The 1880 Town is not only interesting historically but is a photographer's delight, an inspiration to artists, and just plain fun. The visitor cannot absorb all there is to see and learn in one visit, so this book was written to give the history and stories associated with the origins of the Town as well as the Hullinger family vision for the attraction; the staff; the buildings and their histories; and all the special events that have occurred here. Although 1880 Town means different things to different people, it is sure to provide something for every adventurous spirit. Use this book as an additional guide for viewing the Town or as a nostalgic return to a memorable visit.
