Mystic, South Dakota

Mystic is a ghost town in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Originally a gold mining encampment called Sitting Bull, in 1876, the (now) town changed its name to Mystic in 1889. After the turn of the century, Mystic became more of a lumber town than a mining town, and remnants of the old sawmill – like this building – remain in the area.
