A place worth knowing
Make room for Deadwood.
Look beyond a quick Main Street photograph and make room for Deadwood’s museums. Different collections explain different parts of the town’s past. Choose the sites that interest you, then allow for steep streets, seasonal access and a relaxed meal between visits.
