The 1880's

Well folks, today we had a trip back to the 1880's. After leaving Wall, SD we headed East on I-90 toward Sioux Falls. About an hour down the road we saw a sign for "1880 Town." So, we had to see what this is all about and we pulled off the freeway and followed the signs for 1880 Town.
This is about a 5 acre site that is loaded with original buildings and artifacts from 1880-1920 era that were all found in South Dakota. Some of the buildings were transported to the site for a Hollywood movie several years ago and others were trucked in later. It was very fascinating to see how people lived in "The good ol days." In addition to the buildings there were also old railroad cars and locomotives on display. A few pictures are posted that hopefully will give a flavor of the old town.
We spent about an hour there and then got back on the road toward Sioux Falls. I-90 is long, straight, and full of a whole lot of nothing. Miles and miles roll by without seeing any evidence of even a small town. But all in all, the scenery has its own beauty.
We've now covered about 3000 miles and have seen cars from 36 States. Wow, just think only 14 more to go.
This blog will be on the short side tonight as we are both really tired and will be going to bed early tonight for hopefully a fun and busy day tomorrow with Wayne's daughter, Nicole.
