GHOST TOWN in the BLACK HILLS: ABANDONED SPOKANE SOUTH DAKOTA MINING TOWN
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 มิ.ย. 2024
- Spokane, South Dakota is a ghost town in the Black Hills. Only a few buildings remain, some rusted old cars, and a root cellar, from days gone by. Spokane is one of the few remaining intact ghost towns of the Black Hills, however nature is rapidly reclaiming this area.
Spokane, South Dakota was founded in 1890 and was originally intended to be a gold mining town. Instead, miners found silver, lead, zinc, mica, and other minerals. The best year for the mine in the Black Hills was 1927, when profits totaled over $144,000. However, by the late 1930’s, the mine began to fail and closed in 1940. In the 1950’s a few companies tried unsuccessfully to reopen the mine. A watchman remained at the town site, until the mid 1980’s.
The remains of Spokane, South Dakota are just north of Custer State Park’s northern boundary, near the junction of Iron Mountain Road and North Playhouse Road. It is an easy 5 to 10 minute walk back into the site. It is a fun place to explore, in the Black Hills.

This is really cool. I had no idea about this spot. I enjoyed the look around. It seemed so peaceful. The old cars are cool. Interesting history 😊
We just discovered the last time we were in the Black Hills. It was a fun place to explore, just off of Iron Mountain Road. I thought the old cars were really neat as well. I hope you are having a great week!
Wonderful presentation,Thanks for sharing!

Thanks! It was a fun place to visit.
This is fascinating. We love checking out old abandoned ghost towns when we get a chance. It is crazy that people just left old cars and appliances out there to rust away. It is interesting to see how nature reclaims areas like this. Thanks for taking us along to see it!

Waw ini bangunan yang sudah lama tidak dihuni sungguh sangat disayangkan perlu renovasi ulang agar kembali indah
Great history and hiking video. I'm amazed some of those old buildings are still standing. Thanks for sharing. 👍
I was pretty amazed by that too. Wood buildings here don't usually last that long, because the rain and snow decay them faster. I hope you are having a great week!
This is look like abandoned town, the former developed mining land in spokane south dakota is still visible, we love watching old memory videos. thanks for filming.
Hello from Naples, Florida. A neat place to explore, for sure. We enjoyed. Thanks for sharing the amazing views with us, have a great week 👍 💯 ❤
Thanks for watching. I hope you are having a great week as well.
Hello my new friend. Amazing views of the buildings, I enjoyed watching it. Very nice sharing. L61. 😍😍😍

Thanks for wonderful sharing my friend 😊👍
It was a very fun place to explore. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!
Hi Anita this was very different but most enjoyable! Great find! The animals have definitely had their way with the inside of the car! Have a fab weekend ❤
Thanks! I probably have driven past the little parking area for this ghost town 5 times and never knew it was there. I wish I would have found it a few years back when more of the buildings were still standing. But it was a fun place to explore none the less. I hope you are both doing fantastic!
Wow, and amazing and eerie ghost town, my friend! Awesome and fascinating content!

Boom and bust town of old Spokane SD is fun to explore
Don't know the kind of cars but probably late 40s early 50s
Enjoyed the exploration
Thanks and wish you all the best
Cheers 73
I found out they were 1954 Fords. I found them fascinating. Thanks for watching!
@@blendedtravels Thanks!
I love exploring these old ghost towns. Amazing views of the buildings, cars and equipment. Absolutely a wonderful place to explore. Also, the forest was very beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us.
We love exploring ghost towns as well. Unfortunately they don't last as long in this part of the country. The rain and snow can decay the wood pretty quickly. I really liked the old cars as well. Thanks so much for watching. I always love hearing from you.
Really interesting history of mining in the area. The old buildings are hanging in there… the trees are moving in on them though. Steve took a look and guesses the two cars are from the 1950s. I would have no idea about them either. I bet they’ve made a nice home for generations of mice and other critters! Enjoyed the exploring! - Jen 😄👍👍
Very nice video my friend 👍👍
Thank you! I hope you are having a wonderful week.
How eerie yet so beautiful! To think it’s just sitting there forgotten by time. Those cars, wow. So creepy and haunting to see inside the old structures. Incredible to explore. You captured an amazing find. Thanks for sharing with us! 😊💕
Thanks! It was a fun place to visit in the Black Hills. I loved seeing those old cars. I hope you are having a great week!
Great 👍...
Enjoy watching...nice 👍

Seeing all these abandoned houses is scary, but the surroundings look nice. Thanks for sharing - All the best.
It was a fun place to explore. Thanks!
Một khám phá thú vị, nơi đây khá bình yên nhưng con người đã phải bỏ hoang
What a cool looking ghost town ...those cars looked like they were probably from the 1950's or so...shame just left like that...so many of those little towns all over USA left to rot...what a shame...thanks for sharing some of the history with us today!
Yes they were 1954 Fords. I thought they were pretty cool. I hope you had a wonderful 4th!
This walk was so cool and atmospheric :) I loved exploring this mining town, its like a glimpse into another world x
It was a neat little find in the Black Hills. Definitely worth the 10 minute walk back to it. I hope you had a great weekend!
What an interesting and special place! Every object looks so impressive. Sometimes I even felt a little bit scared... 😀😉
Interesting trip to Ghost Town, the nature looks peaceful around the place 👍68
It was an interesting place to visit. Thanks so much for watching!

Thank you!
Very nice sharing. I like it.
Have a wonderful time. Greetings! ~ Milan
Thanks! I hope you are having a great day.
Yes, time is merciless, but once upon a time people lived there and they had work! But alas, now only ruins remain! It was very interesting to visit this abandoned city!❤️👍
I always wonder what life was like for the people that used to live here. It was an interesting place to visit. I hope you are having a wonderful week!
@@blendedtravelsYes. This is very interesting! There is also a similar place not far from us. Peat was mined there in the thirties of the last century, but over time it became unnecessary and people were forced to leave this place. And there, too, there were abandoned houses with history! Although now it’s all overgrown and crumbling! And for some reason this place was called "Russian America". Maybe there is something about this place on the Internet.
What a neat find, Anita. I must have been right close by many times, but have never noticed the trail back to it. Would love to explore and we loved coming along with you. The ticks? We have enough of those here! I have no idea what kind of cars they were but the 40's or even 50's sounds right. Loved the explore.
I thought for sure we were going to have at least a couple of ticks crawling on us, but neither one of us had one! I found out the cars were 1954 Fords. I thought they were pretty cool. I even found out my Dad had one back in the day. I think we have probably driven past this about 5 times in the past and didn't know it was there. Glad we found it now! I hope you had a great weekend.
That’s look very interesting house and looks like nice story. The scenery on the way are stunning and gorgeous. Relaxing and lovely 🥰 view. Have a great day. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪.
It was a fun old ghost town to explore. Have a great weekend!
Dear Anita, a lovely Monday morning greetings from me. Thank you for sharing about this interesting place. The natures is pretty there.
I wish you and your family a blessed week ahead 🙏💖😊
Hi Janet! It was a fun old ghost town to explore in the Black Hills. Whenever I go to places like this, I always wonder about the people that used to live there. I hope you are doing well. Take care and have a wonderful day!
Yes Anita, these places are very interesting indeed. Thanks, will take care here! 😊
Always happy to spend time with your exciting adventures. This Ghost Town in the Black Hills also makes me curious. The green expanse is so refreshing to the eyes. A mining town with old buildings that were just abandoned. Everything is not well maintained, like a ghost town. Thank you for bringing me along on your exciting exploration.
It was a very interesting place to explore. Thank you so much for watching!
Awesome video， nice sharing ♥
Thanks! Have a great day.
Very cool. I'm taking a group to the Blackhills in August for the Motorcycle Rally.
That sounds like fun! I hope you guys have a great time.
Awesome place! I enjoy like this adventure!

Thank you!
Wow! That's right! it looks like ghosts will live in old houses where people left! The mine has been abandoned! Thank you for sharing the right video for the hot summer! Hello! Greetings again from 100tour KOREA! Stay in touch, my dear friend! See you again! Have a wonderful weekend!
Thanks! I hope you are having a great day.
Great explore of a past relic. I've not a clue what make or model those old cars are but they looked cool just sat there. Nature seems to be taking it all back. Tho there must be still some metal and minerals to be mined if people have tried firing it back up since closure in the 1940s 🙂
I found out the cars were 1954 Fords. I thought they were pretty cool. There definitely are still minerals to be found in the area. It was a fun place to explore. Have a great weekend!
Thank you for sharing friend 💞💞💞🙏💯
Thank you for watching!
It moves on your channel, congratulations. Nice places, life is beautiful my friends 👍
Thank you! I hope you are having a great week.
Nice trail to walk pretty woodland. Cool looking miners' houses and old car shame there left to decay. It would make a good weekend retreat. Thanks for sharing with us Blendedtravels 😊 👍
Thanks! I hope you had a great weekend.
@blendedtravels Been OK thanks hope you have had a good weekend too 😀 👍
Nice watching the video
Thank you for watching!
It's definitely a very impressive coverage on this abandoned town once renowned for mining !! Greetings from India.
I am glad you liked it. Thanks!
Lovely cinematography and narration. The ticks are no joke. The old cars are so cool but I don’t know what they are without googling serial or part numbers. Cool place! Take care
Surprisingly we had no ticks after walking through all of that long grass. I thought for sure I would at least have a couple. It was a really neat place to explore. I found out the cars were 1954 Ford's. I figured someone would know who was watching. Thanks and take care!
So interesting ghost town.so peaceful and quite.but it is beautiful place
Yes it really is quite peaceful at this ghost town. Thanks!
The sorroundings of this ghost town is so amazing
It was an interesting place to explore. Thanks!
Totally missed the notification on this one Anita, sorry I'm late. Such a brilliant captivating place, we love old places like this. It was a stunning location and nice to see the remaining buildings being took over by nature and atmospheric old cars just laying there in this ghost village. No idea what cars they were but the animals must have loved them 😃That was really interesting to see and think about all what went on here all those years ago 👍~ Anna
Hi Anna! This was a fun place to explore and I found out that the cars were 1954 Fords. I agree that the animals of the forest seemed to love them. I hope you and Alf are doing well. We are off to Colorado later today for a road trip. I am looking forward to that. Take care!
@@blendedtravels Ah so so nice that you are off to Colorado, safe travels 🙏I'll look forward to the videos 🙂 Yes we are all well here thank you and hope you are too :)

Thank you so much!
Very soothing to watch, with great music. A great expedition. The journey continues, friend... greetings Moode 👣 ☀
Thanks! I hope you are having a wonderful week.
Good vidography and excellent narration as usual. Frozen in time. I bet the ticks are everywhere in that tall grass. Comes with the territory I guess. Thanks for sharing.
Oddly enough, we didn't get any ticks that day. It was such a fun spot to explore. Thanks so much for watching!
Cidade perfeita para fazer uma investigação sobrenatural, parabéns pelo vídeo
It was a interesting place to explore. Thank you!
Danke für das schöne interessante Video 🤟🏼😊 VG Peter

Muy bueno amiga. Que tengas un buen comienzo de semana
Thank you!
Very interesting, nice job 🙂
Thank you so much!
This was so neat to see! Can't believe that cars are still back there. I don't what kind of cars those are, maybe Chevy's?? My husband would know but he isnt here at the moment to look at it, lol :) Great video!
I found out from a couple of viewers that they were 1954 Ford's. I thought they were very interesting. I always love hearing from you. I hope you are having a great summer so far.
Sad to a deserted building like these.
Interesting Ghost Town..
Good video though
👍 01
Yes it is sad, but it has been deserted for a long time. When visiting someplace like this, I always wonder about the lives of the people that lived there. Thanks for watching!
Very nice. Like 39 !
Thanks! I appreciate you watching.
What a wonderful place to explore, but as you say you probably wouldn't want to go inside the properties as not very safe. The Black Hills look just gorgeous.
It is one of our favorite vacation spots in the Midwest of the country. Thanks!
Very beautiful town ❤
Thanks for watching!
Ghost towns, abandoned former mining towns, are truly scary. deep in the middle of the forest
It was an interesting place to explore. Thanks for watching!
Lovely🌄
Thank you!
Beautiful places
Thank you!
Amazing but equally sad 😢 ❤
Yes that is true. It is an interesting old mining camp, but nature is rapidly reclaiming this area. Thanks for watching!
Muito lindo trabalho ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
Wold beautiful house❤😊
Thanks for watching!
🇮🇪 it's very sad homes like this
Yes that is true, but it has been abandoned since the mid 1980's. Nature is reclaiming this area. I hope you are having a great week! 🙂

Thank you for watching!
Oh what an interesting site. Shame about the abandoned buildings- do love those relics despite that. Those cars or what's left of them. A work of art sort of. Sad and interesting at the same time. A lovely clearing- so green. The washing machine made me smile. I remember those. Interesting. The graffiti artists found the buildings too I see. 👌🇳🇱🙋♀🥝
The washing machine made me smile too. My Grandma used to have one in that style and it made me think of her. Yes the animals of the forest did make the cars their own work of art. I found it rather interesting. Have a wonderful weekend!
