About Vivian
Vivian is a tiny prairie town in central South Dakota’s Lyman County with fewer than a hundred residents. Founded in the early 1900s as a stop along the Milwaukee Railroad, it sits right at the crossroads of Interstate 90 and US Highway 83. Life here is quiet and unhurried, surrounded by miles of open ranchland and big prairie skies. For anyone seeking wide-open space and peaceful rural living with convenient highway connections, Vivian offers a classic slice of South Dakota.
