Deadwood is a city in South Dakota that was established in 1876 during the Black Hills gold rush. We visited on September 18th to explore the city and discover its history. We learned about famous frontiersman “Buffalo Bill” Cody and other people like Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane. It is also an old city that has been preserved and was listed as a National Historic Landmark in 1961.
The town was historic looking and cool but it was mostly casinos so there was nothing for someone my age to do. So it wasn’t really that much fun. We 
went to a few gift shops to look around and went to a restaurant for dinner. I give Deadwood 1 star out of 5 because unless you are 21, you can only go in to 
approximately three shops because everywhere else is gambling.

That is an interesting post Jacob. I was surprised to read that a city with so much history would be mostly casinos. That’s kind of sad! I love reading your blog and reading your parent’s posts on FB. Did you enjoy your dinner while there? 🙂 Do they eat a different style of food there?

Nope it is the same kind of food and I did enjoy my food because the restaurant we ate at had good chicken sandwiches.

Jacob – Have you had the chance to try any regional food at any of your stops? Any unique food items that you really liked or disliked?
