About Nahant

Nahant, also known as West Nahant, is a ghost town in Lawrence County, South Dakota. Its livelihood once centered on logging, with mining playing a secondary role, during the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Today the site stands as a quiet remnant of that working era. Visitors drawn to historic settlements will find the kind of sparse, weathered landscape typical of communities that faded once their industrial purpose was gone. Access, conditions, and what physically remains on the ground are worth researching locally before making the trip.
