Why go on a South Dakota tour?
A land of infinite variety, there is something for everyone on a South Dakota tour. From outdoor adventure and plenty of wildlife to several historical and cultural landmarks, travellers will not run out of things to see and do in this Midwestern city. You may begin your tour in the legendary city of Deadwood. Join the Kevin Costner’s Original Deadwood tour and explore this once lawless place. While in the area, you may want to visit Nelson’s Garage Car & Motorcycle Museum, which features automobiles from well-known movies and television shows. James Bond’s Aston Martin from “The Living Daylights,” and the Ferrari driven on “Magnum, P.I.” are among their many displays. There is also Mt. Moriah Cemetery which contains the graves of Calamity Jane, Seth Bullock, Potato Creek Johnny, and Preacher Smith. Everything about this scenic and well-maintained area is a definite dream come true for historical buffs. And if this momentous venture is still not enough, you may view the Crazy Horse Memorial the next day – a mountain monument complex dedicated to all American Indians. Also don’t forget about the infamous Mount Rushmore National Memorial – a giant monument of four great American presidents that draws nearly three million visitors each year.
