It began as a placer gold mining camp called Sitting Bull in 1876 and later became a railroad town. n 1874, George Armstrong Custers 1,000-man Black Hills Expedition explored the valley where Mystic would later be settled. The following year, geologists found gold which started the Black Hills Gold Rush. THE BLACK HILLS From Mount Rushmore to Badlands National Park and beyond you can experience monumental works of man and nature in one place. The Black Hills of South Dakota are home to five national parks and monuments, including Mount Rushmore, the Shrine of Democracy.

Youll find multiple wineries on the Highway 385 wine trail between Hill City and Deadwood, while quality breweries are dotted across the region. BLACK HILLS GOLD RUSH After Horatio Ross discovered gold along a creek in the Black Hills in the 1870s, one of the last great gold rushes descended into this area of South Dakota. The Black Hills Gold Rush took place in Dakota Territory in the United States. It began in 1874 following the Custer Expedition and reached a peak in 187677. The first arrivals were a force of 1,000 men led by George Armstrong Custer to investigate reports that the area contained gold, even though the land was owned by the Sioux. This would begin Custers conflicts with Native American Tribes. In the ensuing decades, people have continued to find pockets of gold in the Black Hills. The largest and deepest mine in the Western Hemisphere, Homestake Mine netted some 41 million ounces of gold in its 126 years of operation.

Located just a few short miles from Mount Rushmore, this summit is the highest point east of the Rocky Mountains. The name was changed in 2016 from Harney Peak. William S. Harney was a general in the Mexican-American and Indian Wars, and those etymological origins were abandoned in favor of honoring the original inhabitants of this region. The new name of Black Elk Peak recognizes the legendary Lakota Sioux medicine man as well as the states important Native American communities.
