Keystone grew up around gold mining in the late 1800s and is now the gateway town to Mount Rushmore. Its Main Street is lined with shops, restaurants and old-time attractions.
The 1880 Train depot is here, so Keystone pairs well with a steam-train ride to Hill City, and the town makes an easy dinner stop after a day at the memorial.
