Although this “town” initially appears to be just another “touristy” stop along I-90, it presents more authentic properties than many others who claim to do so. It began in 1972, after a movie set was built by moving old buildings and gathering Indian relics and antiques together, and then abandoned. The town has been enlarged through the years to provide visitors with a real sense of what living on the prairie was like. Visitors can rent period costumes and take pictures throughout the town. For movie fans, this is a gold mine of props from “Dances with Wolves” including tents, wagons, TeePees and even one of the horses who portrayed Buck in the movie. Although tender care has helped this animal live a long time, if you want to see him, plan your trip soon! |
