Lots of the old buildings have been refurbished and have your usual tourist shops and many casinos in them. with the little old fashioned trolley car on wheels running around it was like being back in time!

We spent a few hours here. Its a nice ride from sturgis and a good place to stop off and grab some food and check out the history. Only thing is parking can be a huge pain.

Visiting Deadwood, SD is like stepping back to the 1800's and living there. The exterior architecture is much like it was when the town was in its prime. However, the stores are not.

I had so much fun walking around downtown. Several old buildings are casinos now but they have made a point to preserve the Historic feel on Deadwood.

The buildings in the old town are reminiscent of the buildings seen in western movies, not a high rise to be seen. Feels like you have stepped back in time.

To me, Deadwood rivals our visits to Virginia City, Nevada as an old west town that still maintains that place in time. Strolls up and down Main Street offer many photo opportunities of the buildings which give the Old Town it's claim to importance. There are the usual touristy gift shops and casinos which smell your money, but they can... More
