Today the Black Hills offers an inviting mix of recreational and cultural experiences and the area continues to be a destination of choice for tourists and retirees alike. As populations increase in the region, this property will be more conveniently-located than ever.
Hermosa is the eastern gateway to the Black Hills. The Council Oak Tree, the largest Burr Oak in South Dakota, has stood on the eastern slopes of the Black Hills by Battle Creek for over 400 years. Gold discovery in the sacred valleys of Paha Sapa in the 1870s drew miners, homesteaders, and businessmen to the region. Hermosa was founded on June 14th, 1886, near Battle Creek. Named by Pete Folsom, the chief engineer of the Pioneer Townsite Company, ‘Hermosa’ means ‘beautiful’ in Spanish, reflecting the area’s natural allure.
Hunting, fishing, boating, camping, golfing, and outdoor recreational opportunities abound in the Southern Black Hills area. Within a short drive, you can explore Custer State Park, one of the nation’s premier state parks. Known for its bison herds and wildlife, it has even been named as one of the World’s Top Ten Wildlife Destinations. Also nearby are the Mammoth Site of Hot Springs, Moccasin Springs Natural Mineral Spa, Evans Plunge Mineral Springs, Angostura Recreation Area, J.H. Keith Cascade Falls Picnic Area, Moccasin Springs and more!
