Frawley Ranch, National Historic Landmark ranch near Spearfish, South Dakota
The 4,750-acre ranch in Centennial Valley contains six preserved historic homesteads and stone courtyard barns constructed in the late 1890s.
Henry Frawley, an attorney who arrived during the 1877 Black Hills gold rush, established the ranch by acquiring failing homestead parcels throughout Lawrence County.
The former Centennial Valley Schoolhouse on the property served local children from 1880 to 1936 and later became a community gathering place.
The property now operates as part of Elkhorn Resort, offering cabins, an RV park, golf course, and facilities for weddings and corporate events.
The ranch features underground tunnels beneath Interstate 90, constructed in 1968 to maintain livestock movement across the divided property.
