Reviews
"While history is my jam, this museum could really use to START with history and THEN lead into how the Days of '76 are the way the town has stayed vibrant and continues to celebrate the past. Starting off with everything being about the Days of 76 celebration really leaves you wondering what you got yourself into for the fee you paid, yet ends up being decent at the very end. Tourists generally do not care about the more recent history."
"Very interesting place. They have many old west guns and horse/mule drawn carriages. Lots of other things, of course, those just particularly stood out for me. Check the bookstore if you have an interest in Deadwood."
"Another fine museum in historic Deadwood! This place has all of the different coaches from the late 1800s to the early 1900s when gas cars made their debut. They also go into the history of rodeo in Deadwood, along with more information on Wild Bill and Calamity Jane. We did a trifecta pass which included the Adams house and the Adams Museum for $22, and they give you 3 days to visit all three."
"I gave it 4stars for the history of the natives they had and for the artifacts and fossils .the wagons were in really good condition too and the guns !! They had lots of old guns ! It was overall pretty cool"
"Cool place about the history of the area with exhibits on rodeos, a personal collection, the annual parade, lots of cool stuff and info. A stagecoach collection on a lower level. Small gift shop too. Plenty of parking."
