At the eastern corridor to the Black Hills lies Box Elder, a city developing from its 1907 railroad roots. It’s home to Ellsworth Air Force Base, a hub for missile training and the future B-21 Raider. The base’s World War II heritage and economic contributions significantly shape the region. Visit the South Dakota Air and Space Museum to learn more about the base’s crucial role in defense during the Cold War. Box Elder thrives as a mixed military and civilian town, expanding with housing and population growth. The community invites guests to celebrate Patriot Day every summer as part of Hills-wide Independence Day festivals.
