Hynes Cabin-1925 Renoveret Classic med fantastisk udsigt

The Hynes family built this cabin in 1925. It was the first cabin on what we consider the most beautiful valley in the Black Hills. Our grandparents, Mary Louise (whom we called Sister) and Dibrell Hynes were invited by friends to come for a visit to the Black Hills from Evanston, Illinois where they lived. They fell in love with the Hills, and Palmer Gulch in particular, and decided to build a cabin here.

Every summer after that, Sister and her three children, Jim (our father), and his older sisters Aubrey and Susan would make the arduous three-day car trip from Evanston, camping along the way. They’d spend the whole summer here, riding their own horses, roaming freely, fishing, hiking and exploring. Dibrell was a geologist, so he could identify any rock we found. He would come to the cabin for his vacation by train every summer, and the family traveled around the west, visiting America’s other magnificent national parks.

The third generation of the Hynes family, Frances, Carol and Arthur, along with our cousins, spent summers staying at the cabin as children, and the Black Hills entered our blood. Now our children and their children delight in spending time here. Five generations have loved this cabin! We are very happy to share our special place and its history with visitors. Have a wonderful time!
