Learn about the first pioneers, miners, muleskinners, prospectors of Deadwood. Only open May - September. Also puts on the Days of 76 Festival with a parade and a rodeo.
The Days of '76 celebration began in 1924 as a way to honor Deadwood’s first pioneers - the prospectors, miners, muleskinners, and madams who poured into the Black Hills in 1876 to settle the gold-filled gulches of Dakota Territory. Since then, the Days of '76 has grown into a legendary annual event with a historic parade and an award-winning PRCA rodeo. A great place for history for the good ol 76.
