Adams Museums—The Adams Museum was originally built in 1930
by businessman and former Deadwood Mayor W.E. Adams. The museum houses artifacts displaying the history
of this infamous town. From artifacts of
the area’s gold mining past, to a rich collection of art, this museum will take
you back in time.
Mount Moriah Cemetery—If
you want to see how far back the history and people of this town truly goes,
then Mount Moriah Cemetery
is certainly a place to visit. Here, you
can see graves dating back to the 1800’s.
In addition, Mount
Moriah Cemetery
is the final resting place of Wild Bill Hicock and Calamity Jane.
Broken Boot Gold Mine—If you want to get a first-hand view
of the gold mining days of Deadwood, then the Broken Boot Gold Mine will give
you that ability. This mine was a real

You will actually walk into the same passages that miners experienced as
they sought their fortunes. In addition,
you can try your hand at panning for gold!
Deadwood is truly a wonderful option for the gambler,
historian, or vacationer. The town is
small enough that you can walk down the brick-paved main street between the
individual casinos. Or, you can ride the
trolleys that transport tourists and locals through the town. Everywhere you look, there is history to be
seen and experienced. Finally, by
staying in one of the hotels in this town, you can look out your window and
realize that you are living a part of the history of the United States.
Deadwood is constantly changing and evolving. A trip to this town will not be a
disappointment.
