Deadwood has only one main street—all that space permits on the floor of Deadwood Gulch. The rest of the town clings to the steep sides of the canyon. Deadwood is filled with reminders of its lively past as a gold-rush boomtown.

Hickok was shot and killed in Deadwood during a poker game on Aug. 2, 1876. Learn More...
