Very rundown, unfortunately

We were a bit disappointed. While the women working there were very kind, the attraction was not what we expected. My kids loved the animals that were free to roam the grounds, but that was the only positive. Bldgs are rundown and most smell musty.

Nice hosts but thats it!

The two hosts were very nice and you could tell they thought a lot of their town. Unfortunately cant say the same of the town. To be avoided unless you have a lot of time to kill and absolutely nothing else to do. Kind of...More

Hoped for something better

Years ago this may have been a nice stop but the place is very old and worn out. Frankly I would skip it.

A visit to the Past

We took a trip back into the old west. They had lost to see and stories to tell. The lady running the shop was very friendly and told us stories that I could of dreamed up. Sometimes real life is more interesting than fiction

Great experience

Experience life in the early 1800's. Family run, this old west town has been lovingly restored. Wonderful to step inside of these old town buildings and get a up close and personal view of life that took place inside. You will be given a recording...More

Not worth the time or money

We stopped thinking we would be able to see an old west town. A lot of the buildings were pretty run down and some of the old artifacts were from modern time. We were given a tape recorder to do a tour with but we...More

Custer tourist site

Not worth the 4 mile drive out of town to see it. Run down and beat up looking. Not much of an activity to be a tourist draw..more of a mini museum site...sorry!

We stopped by, and it seemed a bit average. The Old town set up was interesting and could be great for a learning tool for kids. yet some of it seemed unfinished. It was a nice way to spend a small time for distraction. Yet...More

Is 4 Mile Town the same as the 1880 Town? Is is worth going to both or just one? If one, which one is better?

They are two different attractions; 1880 Town is west of Murdo, SD and Four Mile is in Custer, SD. I very much enjoyed Four Mile - I haven't been to 1880 Town, though, so I can't compare the two.
