Teddy Bear is a ghost town in Pennington County, South Dakota, United States. [1] The settlement was located 3.5 mi (5.6 km) east of Hill City.
Many details of the history of Teddy Bear—including its name—are uncertain. It was never a large town and likely only ever operated as a mining camp with a few buildings. Based on the remains of its architecture, it likely existed before 1900. As of 2006 [update], ruins are still standings, including the remains of basements, an unusual feature in Black Hills architecture. [2]
