City Of Deadwood

City Of Deadwood

What you'll see in Deadwood today is a careful, accurate restoration of a historically significant city. Deadwood's extensive Victorian architecture is unique to the West. While the gold rush of 1876 brought the likes of Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane, it also provided the wealth to construct a thriving commercial center in the heart of the Black Hills of South Dakota. Today the town is full of carefully restored buildings and architecture, along with museums dedicated to preserving the past.
