Historic Downtown Deadwood

480-484 Lower Main Street, Deadwood, SD 57732

"We were there when a huge art/craft fair was going on in June. The first thing to be aware of is that parking is impossible. There are not enough spots. And if you have an RV, get in town super early. I had to drop the trailer outside of town and drive back. It has developed a number of tourist traps with overpriced goods. We are not big on museums, and what is left after that is not all that historic."

"In its liveliness, Deadwood presents itself in first-class taste of the western frontier that gives you a feel of the years, way back to its establishment, all the way through to today. Old fashioned saloons, reenactments, original buildings, and artifacts line Main Street from top to bottom. There isn't anything short of fine dining and great eats here. Most notable are Mavericks, Mustang Sally's and the Social Club above Saloon 10. However, there isn't anything to present to youngsters besides food, a relatively small mini golf course up the hill and the small events of being inducted into the sheriff's department."

"Loved Deadwood! So much history and so many things to see. We stayed there for a weekend the end of April and it was not enough time to even begin to do everything I'd like to do. It's definitely one of those towns that you could come back to many times and still not see everything. Quaint, charming and full of history. Friendly people, great vibes! PS - The last weekend in April was a great time to go because they had lower pre-season rates on hotels and the weather was beautiful. There's a lot more activity in the summer with lots of shows in the streets etc but for a 1st time visit, April was a wonderful time to go."

"Did the downtown Deadwood bus tour. Seniors $20. One hour."

"Not bad for Wild West fans but not as great as Tombstone. It has a lot of expensive stores, restaurants, and the history is less preserved."
