Hill City made its beginning in 1876 when gold deposits were found in the streams in the area. Modern day Hill City survives mainly on the logging of timber, ranching and being a tourist destination. This mountain town is in the middle of the Black Hills region. The Black Hills area offers an array of tourist sites and activities for everyone. Of course, some of the biggest sites are Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse Monument, and several state parks with plenty of wildlife to see. There are activities like scenic drives, hiking, swimming, fishing, hunting, snowmobiling and rock climbing to mention a few. There are museums, art galleries, gift and antique shops, restaurants and plenty of unique vacation homes, bed & breakfasts and motels.
