My husband and I booked the "fantasy package" for each of us, which included a 60 minute massage and a facial. Both of us walked out of the spa saying it was the best massages we've ever had and we've had massages by a lot of different therapists through the years. Very relaxing, each massage therapist listened to each of our needs and customized the messages to what we wanted. Wonderful people, wonderful business, and amazing prices!

Broken Boot Gold Mine

Pan for gold in this historic gold mining area.

Reviewed By sschmit696 - Naples, United States

This is a great experience for all ages. They give you a bag of rocks (with gold in it) and show you how to pan just like the old times gold miners did. You don't have to go into a river or creek, there is a trough with water and they show you how to squirt your pan to get to the GOLD!! It's something fun to do and is quite inexpensive. We didn't do the mine because it was rainy and cold. You can choose to do one or the other or both.

Adams House

The Historic Adams House was built in 1892 by Deadwood pioneers Harris and Anna Franklin. Local contemporary press described the home as "the grandest house west of the Mississippi." The elegant Queen Anne-style house heralded a wealthy and socially prominent new age for Deadwood, a former rough and tumble gold mining town. Harris and Anna Franklin’s son Nathan bought the house for $1 in 1905. In 1920, Nathan Franklin sold the house to W.E. and Alice Adams for $8,500. Adams' second wife Mary closed up the house in 1936, two years after W.E.'s death, leaving the contents and furnishings intact.

Reviewed By Rockabird - Beach Park, United States

This tour was low key but very informative about not only the house but the history of the original and subsequent owners of the house. It is a house that was owned by a very wealthy couple and it displayed the most modern and expensive accoutrements of the era. Rather fascinating.

Adams Museum

The Adams Museum is the Black Hills’ oldest history museum. In 1930 pioneer businessman W.E. Adams founded the Adams Museum in downtown Deadwood with the purpose of preserving and displaying the history of the Black Hills. The Adams Museum is home to some of the Black Hills’ greatest treasures including Potato Creek Johnny’s gold nugget, beloved American illustrator N.C. Wyeth’s pencil sketch drawing of Western legend Wild Bill Hickok, the mysterious Thoen Stone record of the Ezra Kind party’s discovery of gold in the Hills in the 1830s and a one-of-a-kind plesiosaur (marine reptile). In addition to exhibits on all three levels, the Adams General Store is located on the main floor.

Days of '76 Museum

Live re-creations of the town's rich history started in 1924 through the Days of '76 celebration and award-winning rodeo. The celebration began as a way to honor Deadwood's pioneers - the prospectors, miners, muleskinners and madams who poured into the Black Hills in 1876 to settle the gold-filled gulches of Dakota Territory. Deadwood's newest museum documents the celebration and rodeo. The Days of '76 Museum features exceptional displays of carriages, firearms, American Indian artifacts and illustrates Deadwood's enduring friendship with Buffalo Bill Cody. The Days of '76 Museum is wheelchair accessible. The Mercantile gift shop is located on the first floor.

This is the second time we have watched the street plays. Educational and entertaining. The shoot out at the Number 10 saloon is great and audience participation is fun. See them all or at least see the saloon shootout, the arrest and trail of Jack McCall.
