Keystone is a town in the Black Hills region of Pennington County, South Dakota, United States. The population was 337 at the 2010 census. It had its origins in 1883 as a mining town, and has since transformed itself into a resort town, serving the needs of the millions of visitors to Mount Rushmore National Memorial, which is located just beyond city limits. Among its tourist attractions is the Black Hills Central Railroad, built in 1900 for Black Hills gold. It now operates passenger trains pulled by preserved steam locomotives. Another prominent local attraction is The National Presidential Wax Museum, which features wax sculptures of every president in U.S. history and several notable Sioux Chiefs, inventors, and international political figures. The wax figures are the work of world-renowned wax sculptor Katherine Stubergh whose notable works include wax figures used in Gone With the Wind and the 1953 film House of Wax. Carrie Ingalls (sister of ''Little House on the Prairie'' author Laura Ingalls Wilder) spent a significant part of her adult life there, living with her husband David N. Swanzey and his children. Her sister Mary Ingalls lived with them for a while and died here in 1928. This town was one of the filming locations for the Columbia Pictures 1994 comedy film ''North''. ==Photo Gallery== File:Dean Franklin - 06.04.03 Mount Rushmore Monument (by-sa)-2 new.jpg|Mount Rushmore File:National Presidential Wax Museum.jpg|The National Presidential Wax Museum, a private museum in Keystone File:BHC RR in 2001.jpg|Black Hills Central Railroad File:Keystone Wye Bridges.jpg|Keystone Wye just north of the town File:Griphite-339032.jpg|Identification card of griphite mineral File:Spodumene - large crystals in granite - Etta mine, Keystone, Pennington County, South Dakota.jpg|Crystals at the Etta Mine 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Keystone, South Dakota」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
