SD Other Badlands Area

Travel season will be here.... soon? When in the badlands, check out the Prairie Homestead. The first time I saw it, you dropped a coin in a box to enter, now a big ugly visitor's center leads the way.... BUT after several visits, over several years the Homestead hasn't changed. It is as if the homesteader has gone visiting when you stopped in, missing them.
My non-camping daughter found a retired missile site in the area that is open to the public. I don't have the info but if you are into the Cold War try to find more about it. Limited tours were offered into the silo itself. On my list for the next time I am in the area.

We were last out there in 2006 and I don't remember that big ugly visitor center!!

Here is a link to the Homestead house...

The silo site has very limited reservations, this is one I would like to catch the next time we are out in the Black Hills.
