Deadwood

Yeah, it is a bit of a tourist trap, and yeah, the cowboy shooting re-enactments are kinda cheesy, but the town of Deadwood is still a fun stop in South Dakota.

A big theme in the town centers around the legendary Wild Bill Hickok, who was gunned down in a saloon on the main street there in 1876.

If the famous gunfighter were to reappear again on the streets, he would probably chuckle a little at the bordello remake and the curio shops packed with tourists.

But even he might appreciate a small saloon town that has constructed a modern concrete parking garage for tourists.
