After that, Custer began to build again:
schools, churches, courts and more. Today, the "Golden Valley" is as beautiful as the day General Custer first saw it - a well-built, prosperous
town that's the gem of the valley.
  
Custer, the seat of Custer County, is the
oldest town in the Black Hills. It's situated
among picturesque granite outcroppings and
flanked on all sides by ponderosa pines.
