So much history, so many fascinating characters. The obvious ones, Wild Bill and Calamity Jane, but so many more. Unless you like cheesy casinos, this is probably the best attraction in Deadwood. But - realize they have parking at the top of the hill. I asked at the hotel for directions and they simply pointed. The walk from town to... more

If you go to Deadwood, you should probably stop at the cemetary, just to get a picture at Wild Bill and Calamity Jane's gravesites. It's a very hilly and pretty cemetary with lots of old gravesites. Your $1 admission gets you a map that tells you the location of everyone and a short history of the 'famous' --- or infamous... more

For $1 the cemetery offers an interesting peek into the end of the 19th century in Deadwood. A flier that you get with admission gives details on many interesting occupants and a map.

Okay, you can see the graves of Calamity Jane and Wild Biil, but this cemetery, with its well documented sections and walking tour does more than that - it gives a complete picture of life in late 19th century Deadwood as seen through death. Included are the graves of children who died in infancy due to disease, various prominent citiizens... more

Had to check this out while we were in town. I guess it was ok, if you're into all that Wild Bill & Calamity Jane stuff. I'm not sure if I agree on charging people to go into a cemetery but it was only a buck per person and I guess it goes towards the up keep and tour guides.... more
