DeadwoodA Guide to South Dakota's Historic Old West Town
|
||
This travel guide by South Dakota writer Jay Kirschenmann is a quick reference to attractions, restaurants, lodging and historic places in this Wild West town. Thieves, gunslingers, and victims of "Gold Fever" created Deadwood from a former mining camp that's now well-known for its rowdy, lawless history. Dynamic characters of the Old West – think Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane – once made this town their home. The locals celebrate that storied past every day and share it with those who come to visit. Today Deadwood is best known for its casinos, shops, restaurants and bars, all housed in the historic brick buildings most of which are located downtown. The buildings are renovated with care, keeping the traditions and the unique features found inside and out accurately and carefully in place. Take a stroll and see 1800s architecture and lighting, and
use your Tourist Town guide for insider information about places to eat and
historic attractions in town. Your guide also provides a thorough "daytripper"
manual of regional lodging, sites, dining, and children's
activities. This Tourist Town guide is your well-researched ticket for everything from attractions in Deadwood's casino district, golf courses, bed-and-breakfast lodging and hotels to family-focused activities that drink in the rich history and natural beauty of the northern Black Hills. |
Walk through history...Take one step onto the cobblestone street of Deadwood, South Dakota, and you're immersed into the late 1800s. Back then, the gold-mining fever made Main Street a rough-and-tumble town on the edge of the known world.
Actors roam Deadwood streets bringing history to life with mock gunfights and even a reenactment of the murder of Deadwood's most famous legend, Wild Bill Hickok.
