This is the oldest history museum in the Black
Hills.
Located in Deadwood, within easy walking distance to
Deadwood's
Historic Main Street, the museum features many displays
and photographs
interpreting Deadwood and Black Hills History. Highlights
include the
first steam locomotive in the black hills, (hauled
overland in pieces
by wagon) and artifacts relating to Wild Bill Hickok and
other colorful
Western figures. The museum also has a collection of old-west guns and many of the minerals found in the Black Hills. The Adams House is a restored Queen Anne style Victorian mansion. Tours are conducted daily in what was once one of Deadwood's finest homes. We recommend that you visit the museum first and then get driving instructions to the house.
