City/town information
Deadwood is much more than taking your shot at gambling. There's oodles of Western History and interest for every age. Step back in time during the daily street shootouts, tour the Adams House Museum for a peek at late 1800's living, or take the Trolley to the high hilltop cemetery where Wild Bill and Calamity Jane are buried, browse the gift shops and walking tour of historic streets. Some fabulous restaurants too.
