REVIEWS OF Four Mile Old West Town Museum IN South Dakota

Sandy Kirchner

Very cute place. There are a lot of buildings set up like a town with each one being for something

Sande McPherson

Meh

Susan Ruggles

Family run, very friendly people, don't use the tape recorder, read on your own. Dusty and dated but liked it just the same for the entrance fee!

Heather Kennedy

Poor signage, confusing

Maurizio Moretti

Ron Shafer

I thought it was going to be a Joke but it turned out to be rather enjoyable and quite expansive with the structures that they had. They certainly have more than Walter Knott did when he created Knott's Berry Farm in Southern California. A lot of photo opportunities.

Joy Martini

Shirley Franklin

Very nice people running it.

I CAME FROM THE UK TO SEE HOW COWBOYS GUNS HORSE'S AND THE WAY THEY LIVED IN THE 17TH AND 18TH CENTERY AND I WAS DELIGHTED WITH 4 MILE TOWN EVEN VISITED TWICE IN THE SAME WEEK

Michael Zale

First off - This place is only meant to be visited by those who are deeply interested in The West, Custer, Pioneers, Native American Indians, Mining and The Black Hills. If you don't love those things, skip this attraction because you will be bored or creeped out. I love attractions that are the sole creation of an individual - and this is what you will find here. When I visited the "Tour" consisted of listening to an old fashion tape recorder that you would physically press play on to hear the "Tour Guides" voice. You pause the tape recorder when necessary to walk to the next area. As antiqued as this sounds I found it quaint. The thing I didn't like about this was that it was bulky, and I was interested in using both my hands to take pictures. The Saloon, Fort, Church, Livery/Barn were the highlights. There were very few visitors when I was there. The staff was very friendly and they were dressed in period attire. I think most visitors will spend between half hour and an hour here.

Joseph Lull

Neat place and absolutely delightful ladies that were there during our visit. I'd easily give it 5 stars if there was some repairs done to the buildings.

Nicki Hartz

If you like the old west you will love this place

Tami Anderson

Very interesting and fun

Karen Fettig

Tim Eastwood

Lorie Davis

We really enjoyed talking with Mary. The town was fun to explore.

David Newman

The lady at the front desk was really nice and was cracking jokes. I was dive bombed by a bird while exploring the Stockaid. But she had a nest, so I wasn't suprised.

Galyna Tuttle

Long past it's hay day.... Still was nice to look around to kill a little time...

Great staff. The lady working the counter was sweet. It's pretty cool to go back in history and see some of the houses and things people had back in the day.

Ray Jones

Great place for the whole family something for every age

Ronnie Sumner

I agree with the last reviewer. It was a n interesting step back in time and not expensive to visit. Good for a day when you need something to do close to Custer.

Such an amazing place to visit! the lady was so sweet at the entrance! She told us the whole story of 4 mile old west town when we first got there! My grandma and I enjoyed visiting all the buildings and reading all the historical facts. So many little details she thought of!

Lee Van Spier

This place is underrated. It is probably the best wild west old town reconstruction we've seen. The lady at the door is so nice and cute, must stop 6$ entrance fee

Rory Solway

Run down, could have been preserved better, interesting for the 6$

Loved the place people & history

Peggy Soper

Judy Riley

Had a great time here. The owner is very knowledgeable and friendly. Nice gift shop.

Our family enjoyed this self-guided tour. Whoever said it wasn't authentic didn't listen to the elderly woman give a background about the town. It was a real town. She was a very nice lady. I think admission was only $5.50 a person so it's not like it broke the bank to get a glimpse of the past.

Roger Hall

Great historical ghost town to visit. The place is well preserved and has over 50 original buildngs. Must stop

Mike Hill

Just a little town but was very interesting if you like historical stuff. The ladies that run it are very friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the time spent there.

Lisa Smaller

We had a great time here! Self guided tour, tape audio! I loved all the history and info!

Mr.C Monkey

Very fun to walk around and see what all was there

Dustin Carter

Decent little museum to walk through and kill some time. Has lots of cool old stuff that you dont see anymore or for that matter anywhere.

Vicki Landers

Great great place The owner, so nice

c Finn

Amazing. We had so much fun. The owner of this place is dedicated. They label everything. The buildings are in amazing disrepair for authenticity, but are still functional and you are able to enter each one. You pay $6 and get an old tape recorder to do a self-guided walking tour of some of the oldest, neatest, and creepiest things you will ever see. We brought our four year-old, but because of all the broken glass, rusty nails, and sharp edges I wouldn't call this attraction "child-friendly". We kept our son right at our side the whole time and watched him carefully, but if I had more than one, or if he wasn't listening well, this place would spell trouble. I assume because of all the broken glass and sharp edges that is why there are warning signs to be careful in the "unsupervised areas". This place was amazing though. If you love the old west, anything creepy, or old stuff in general...do not leave Custer without doing this tour. Also, listen to the tape. It was very interesting and also added to the whole experience. Where does the owner even find tapes anymore!? Incredible. When we go back to Custer, we will be sure to check back in and see what new buildings might be there and to take another stroll. What a gem in Custer. Not for people who do not like really old stuff, history, or self-guided experienced. Also not for children who need to touch everything, as they might get cut or poked. Definitely for people with a sense of humor, love for history, and can appreciate authenticity. We loved it.

Janis Reid

We loved it. Mary was warm and inviting and loved the town. The family run place is quaint, historic and funny. The taped tour is informative. Worth the stop.

Johanna Auriemma

Wonderful place to experience the old west.

Fantastic and informative staff!

Justin Lee Barnes

Gary Nisbet

Lauren Rekonen

Kids loved it!! Very interesting history.

Mindy Ford

Well kept history and very interesting.

James Byers

Very trashy, buildings smelled and were very unorganized. Basically a bunch of old un-kept buildings sitting in the back of somebody's lawn. We spent 30$ for 6 people, it took us about 5 minutes to realize we had been taken. A shady tourist trap willing to rip you off.The family was extremely disappointed and upset. The front of the building may look inviting, but the town out back is complete opposite. Don't make mistake we did!

GARRY PETERS

Interesting

Chelsea Joersz

Excellent display of an old west town. I loved the self guided tour so we could go at our own pace. A must see!!!

Catherine Mercier

(Translated by Google) Museum a little craft but warm welcome! (Original) Musée un peu artisanal mais accueil chaleureux !

P Pudrowski

Isaac Gibbs

It is definitely an interesting place with a lot of history. Self guided tours with old school (and I mean old school) cassette players. You can enter the displays and look around. The gift shop has a lot of one of a kind collectables, some falling in theme with frontier life and others that are not. Nifty place to check out even on a budget.

Kim Stickel

Donna M

Very friendly staff and great preservation of the era. A must see when you travel to Custer, SD

Lisa Marie Koser

Super cool ! Our whole family enjoyed this quirky, informative attraction. Dozens of displays shedding light on life in the old west. It was our first stop on a week long va action and we really enjoyed it! 6.00 per person, don't miss this one!

Mandy Kirby

Marco LoPiccolo

Cool roadside attraction

Gina Jobe

Old and run down. Needs TLC.

Patricia Paschick

Lots of history here with an interesting set up, many buildings with artifacts. Reasonably priced. We enjoyed this place

Candace Seale

My husband and I stopped here after a long day. I can say it was the most fun I had that day! I wanted to give Mary a hug and stay and talk all evening. It needs a lot of work however I couldn't have met a more wonderful woman, with a great spirit! We were given a tape recorder to meander on our own for a self guided tour through the property. I laughed out loud the entire way listening to this recording. The tape was recorded by the owner herself and I enjoyed it so much. THANK YOU, you put a smile on my face for days!

Tonya Hayre

This was a step back in time and was an informative, relaxing stop during our trip!

Joy Hughes

Different little stop.

The kids loved this place! Very hands on!

Monica Lafave

Staff very friendly. Would like to see more updates done but very interesting.

Troy Greenslade

We went to mount Rushmore, Jewel caves, saw buffalo on the road... My six year old liked the first town the best

Kathy Wahlgren-Ruckauf

Google states this place is open, but it's actually closed for the season. Had to drive 35 miles to find that out. Also, the hours listed are wrong for the open season. They close at 5pm during peak season.

Paul Kate

Kelly Knight

Very interesting

reece foust

Really cool place

Thomas McEwen

Nice people. So in and day hello. There is a hidden town behind that.you can walk.through. very nice

Linda Owen

It is a simple place that is not too expensive where you can get some good family pictures. Friendly, talkative folks run the place.

Michelle Mitchell

Interesting, but not overly exciting.

Cameron Whitaker

Awesome place the owner is nice and it is family owned. I learned a lot and enjoyed it a ton. In my opinion every one should go to Four Mile Old West Town. And they put in a campground not to long ago and the campground is really nice and is affordable and they have full hookup pull throw spots. It was a quiet place to camp at.

Johanna R Auriemma

Janet Olson

Mike Hooper

Dale Silverman

Loved the self guided tour which let you wander around at your own pace and our dogs were welcome too! Also appreciated that they remained open late...after a long drive from Cheyenne and checking into our campground, a leisurely walk around this quaint replica of the old west was just what we needed before dinner.

My family really enjoyed going here, lots of things to see and learn about. It was pretty cool to see the jail in it's original form from so many years ago. The staff were great and very informative.
