Deadwood Alive — Attraction in Deadwood

Lively town. Entertaining shows. Friendly actors. Reasonable prices for shows and tours. Everything to do is clearly marked on website, on street markers, and with customer service on the phone. The weather was very nice all day on Sat, July 10 but we never saw the stagecoach for rides:( The 8:00 trial was entertaining.

Our tour lasted about an hour and a half but it varies depending on the group, and you can leave at any time. The gun fights were also incredible and realistic. If the reason you are in Deadwood has anything to do with its history, this...
