South Dakota has so many adorable towns, and they’re even more charming when they’re covered in a blanket of snow. Here are nine towns that will make you feel as though you’ve fallen into a snow globe this winter season.
- Deadwood
Historic Deadwood/Facebook Nothing looks cozier than Deadwood during the winter. Tucked away in the forest with the houses all aglow, it looks like something right off a postcard.
- Sturgis

- Rapid City
Joe Wolf/flickr Rapid City’s Main Street Square is magical in the winter. Have you been skating yet?
- Pennington County
Craig Moe/flickr We’re not sure exactly where this photo was taken, but it’s definitely snow globe-worthy. South Dakota’s rural spots are simply charming in the winter.
- Sioux Falls
Jerry/flickr Falls Park, with its icy river and snow-covered grounds, is a winter wonderland.
- Pierre
Christmas at the Capitol/Facebook There’s nothing like Christmas at the Capitol. With the pine trees dressed in colored lights and the capitol building aglow against a wintry background, the landscape is magical.
- Keystone

- Watertown
Terry Redlin Art Center/Facebook Someone definitely shook the snow globe before they took this photo. Stop into the Terry Redlin Art Center to see some of Mr. Redlin’s nostalgic winter-themed paintings.
- Madison
Jerry/flickr An early morning on a snowy day in Madison. Don’t think about shoveling the snow - just grab a cup of coffee, snuggle up in a quilt and enjoy the view.
