After a yummy breakfast at the 1950's Train Diner at 1880 Town, we toured the place for about an hour, strolling down the wooden sidewalks of the town. They have a display room filled with movie props that were used in the making of "Dances With Wolves" because that movie was shot in South Dakota and close by. A horse named Buck owned by one of the local ranches was Kevin Costner's main horse in the movie, so they had lots of footage of him.
The buildings were all in pretty good shape, and it was interesting to see a glimpse of life 130 years ago in the west. The world has changed a great deal in such a short time.
We took Matt and Michele and their kid's out to eat at a local restaurant called Minerva's. It was very good, and we all enjoyed ourselves. Great times visiting with old friends!
