White Butte, South Dakota - A Mysterious Roadside Ruin

Sitting on the side of the road, White Butte, South Dakota is easy to miss. Today, it's in complete ruin and only a couple of buildings remain standing, but the town once was home to around 100 people and had its own post office. We nearly passed this town by and stumbled upon it by accident, but was a nice challenge to find a ruin that we knew nothing about, film it, and then piece together the clues and history later. We had nothing to work with - I didn't initially even have a name. What little information could be found in research is contained in this video.
