The Adams Museum shines a light on Deadwood's legends and outlaws, and chronicles the city's progress and its notorious businesses.  Explore the beautiful, unique natural history of the Black Hills and play in a virtual reality sandbox.  The museum features a variety of challenging and fun hands-on activities for visitors of all ages.  Admission to the Adams Museum is by donation.  

The Days of '76 Museum showcases Deadwood's time-honored celebration and rodeo.  A remarkable collection of pioneer, cowboy,  and American Indian artifacts are on display, along with a unique firearms exhibit, and an extensive collection of carriages, wagons, and stagecoaches that explains the important story early frontier transportation played in settling Deadwood.  

The Historic Adams House is a Queen Anne-style mansion built in 1892 that has been restored and left untouched for almost a century.   The home is filled with original artifacts chronicling Deadwood’s transition from a raucous mining camp into a prosperous and technologically rich city.  The historic home recounts the tragedies and triumphs of two of Deadwood’s founding families.  

The Brothel Deadwood:  Brothels were a fixture on the second story of several Deadwood Main Street buildings from 1876-1980. This aspect of Deadwood’s history, although difficult and uncomfortable to talk about, had a huge impact on the community.  A series of eight rooms at 610 Main Street have been curated with period-appropriate furnishings to help transport the visitor to another era.  Call 605-559-0231 or purchase online.
