Located
just two miles from Mount Rushmore this Historical gold mining
boom-town has much to offer. Pan for gold in a real gold mine; go on a
historic walking tour or take a train ride through the beautiful Black
Hills on a Historic 1880's train. These are just some of the exciting
experiences you can find in Keystone South Dakota.
Another
draw of Keystone are the shops full of trinkets and goodies. On our
last trip our primary destination was the candy shop for some yummy old
fashion Taffy.
Of
course we had to stop in all the other little stores along the main
street. Being so far from the ocean, I was rather surprised when I came
across these shells in the rock shop.
Black Hills Gold, wooden sculptures and handcrafted Indian goods can be found all throughout town.
The painting on this buffalo is awesome, just click on the photo to bring up a larger view.
Enjoy an snack or leisurely meal at one of the sidewalk cafe's or fine restaurants.
Whether
you live locally and are looking for a nice way to spend the afternoon
or you are traveling from far off to see the magnificent Mt. Rushmore,
add Keystone to your list of places to see, you won't be disappointed.
