South Dakota is chock full of charming small towns, but it seems like the only ones nationally known are the ones around Mount Rushmore, right? While we love us some Deadwood and Keystone, we also love all of the other incredible towns scattered throughout our great state, including this tiny town that has a bit of everything:

Located "On The Edge of Everything" is beautiful Hartford, South Dakota; a Sioux Falls suburb that may look small, but is anything but!

Established in 1881, Hartford was originally plotted as a railroad town and has since taken on a life of its own, thanks to its 3,000 active community members, charming downtown area, and ample attractions!
