Back in 1876, the search for gold brought a flood of madams, muleskinners, merchants, and miners to the Deadwood Gulch. The fascinating tale of one of the last great gold rushes in the United States is brought to life at the Broken Boot Gold Mine of Deadwood, which was established in the year 1878. Experienced guides help today’s visitors discover the magic and mystery of the old-time techniques of gold mining, with tours available every thirty minutes. After the tour, guests can also try gold panning themselves, just as numerous prospectors once did at the same site over one hundred years ago.
