With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore everything that Mitchell, 35 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights starting with Mitchell Prehistoric Indian Village, Mitchell Aquatic Center and Hitchcock Park. Situated 55 miles away, De Smet is another place to aim for. If you visit, don’t miss Ingalls Homestead, Laura Ingalls Wilder Memorial and De Smet Depot Museum.
