Gold was the initial draw for the first settlers of Custer County, who traced the path of the 1,000-strong 1874 Expedition led by Lt. Col. George A. Custer. Today, however, it is the area's more intangible charms that captivate residents: breathtaking landscapes, abundant recreational activities, world-class attractions, a thriving environment, a strong sense of community, and a unique spirit often described as an aura of spirituality.
