Parker is the county seat of South Dakota's Turner County. This city was incorporated in 1883 and named after a railroad official's wife. A city that exudes small-town vibes, Parker plays hosts to the annual Turner County Fair, which is known to be the oldest county fair in the state. First held in 1880, the fair presents games, sporting events, livestock exhibits, music concerts, food and drink stalls, local products, and more. A variety of old inns and restaurants dot the town's quaint landscape, making for a peaceful getaway in South Dakota.

Driving down the Interstate 90 near Montrose, it's hard to miss the giant bull head peeking from the ground. It's intriguing enough to cause a detour, and you'll be rewarded with many more such installations which comprise the Porter Sculpture Park. The work is a brainchild of metal sculptor Wayne Porter, and contains fantastical installations created mostly from scrap metal. Depicting insects, reptiles and other-worldly creatures, the artist's works have a spooky touch that's bound to stay with you for some time after you've left.
