Deadwood South Dakota

We drove up to Deadwood from Hill City this morning just to spend the day in town.




Just to show you all we were there. Deadwood is an interesting little town with more tourists than residents.










Deadwood is famous for being the place where Wild Bill Hickok was shot and killed. Lots of stories around town concerning that event and the events that followed. So..... we just had to visit his grave.







In  many ways Deadwood is still a old west town. We walked out of a store to find the street filled with horses instead of cars. Gambling is legal in Deadwood so there's a casino on every corner.







We toured the Adams house built in 1892 and owned by two of the prominent families of Deadwood. Deadwood was a Black Hills gold rush town with a colorful and somewhat sordid history. So..... an interesting day.
