Hillside School
Herrmann Park
Highway 85 South
Belle Fourche, SD 57717
The Hillside School is located on Highway 85 South about 1/4 mile south of the town of Belle Fourche, South Dakota, just west of Hermann Park off Jackson Street. Built in 1885 as the “Beam” School, it was originally located 15 miles east of Belle Fourche near Fruitdale. The first Christmas tree in Butte County was displayed here. This one-room schoolhouse was moved to its present location in 1984, and preserved in cooperation with the city of Belle Fourche and the Butte County Historical Society.
