Top Things to See

If we are only spending 3 hours in Deadwood, what are the top things to see that we shouldn%26#39;t miss? We are then taking Spearfish Canyon drive and going on to North Dakota Roosevelt Park. Thanks.

Top Things to See

The museum and Boot Hill Cemetery. We only spent about 3 hours there this June on our way from Mt. Rushmore to Cody and Yellowstone National Park.

Top Things to See

In that amount of time, I%26#39;d recommend:

1. Take a walk on Main Street (the four block portion between the Franklin Hotel and the Mineral Palace casino). Peak into the Saloon #10, the Bullock Hotel and other buildings that catch your eye. (A little known sight that might be worth a five minute stop if you%26#39;re interested is the model train display in the basement of the Wild West Winner%26#39;s Club.)

2. The Adams Museum (by the courthouse a couple blocks off of Main). This is the best way to get an accurate summary of Deadwood history.

3. A visit to the Mount Moriah Cemetery. This will include a short drive through some of Deadwood%26#39;s historic houses.

Park in the same spot for Main Street and the Adams Museum. Your best bet is the metered parking near the information center (old train depot which is worth a step inside). The parking ramp on Main Street isn%26#39;t bad, either.

Thank you so much. I appreciate all the info. Is there a recommended place to eat??

I assume you%26#39;re asking about lunch. Main Street is lined with places but I%26#39;ll recommend the following.

The Deadwood Thymes Cafe is a bistro style place. Great food and lucnh is reasonably priced. It%26#39;s near the Adams Museum.

The Deadwood Social Club (above Saloon #10) is good.

Try Mustang Sally%26#39;s on Main Street for a burger joint.

Thank you so much. I appreciate it!!

Yes, I was talking about lunch.

Go to the Stockade for lunch/dinner. It%26#39;s seated indoor and outdoor. It%26#39;s very nice and good prices and GREAT prime rib! Free live music most of the time too, even during the week. Just got back from there. I highly recommend it!

Boot Hill Tour and the Adams Museum are a must and a walk down main street.

Thank you for your advice. I appreciate it.

Accommodator,

I did take your advice in Deadwood. We went to the Adams Museum, the Mt. Moriah cemetary, walked Main Street, and ate at the Deadwood Social Club. We even got a chance to see the shootout at Saloon #10. The actor who played Wild Bill Hickcock was quite good and seemed to get into playing the part.
