Deadwood, South Dakota

The name “Deadwood” conjures up all kinds of visions in ones mind: Gold fields, miners, gambling, loose women and of course Indians, soldiers and some of the most famous people of west. Wild Bill Hickock, Wyatt Earp, Calamity Jane, and Col George Armstrong Custer, all were in Deadwood at one time or another.

Today, the town of Deadwood is now on the National Historic Register. The town is currently conducting legalized gambling in the hopes that they will be able to secure sufficient revenue to restore all of the buildings of old Deadwood.

Deadwood is sitting in the middle of some beautiful country and has abundant tours, museums, recreation and wildlife to enjoy.
