Part of archaeology camp was a tour of Main Street in Deadwood to talk about historic resources and the built environment. Here are some highlights:
The "slime plant". I still have no idea what was manufactured there, but I'm guessing it wasn't slime.
Ben Franklin!
Sandstone was a common building material at the turn of the 20th century. And quarried locally!
This drives me bonkers. The saloon where Wild Bill Hickok was killed was moved from its original location and dropped just a few blocks away. Stupid, stupid people!
Not part of historic Deadwood, but the Chubby Chipmunk makes the best truffles around! And has the best name ever.
