About Days of '76 Museum

The museum grew out of a collection of horse-drawn vehicles, clothing, memorabilia and archives gathered by the Days of '76 celebration, which started in 1924 to honor Deadwood's early settlers. Today it is a modern building with rotating themed exhibits. One gallery of wagons, carriages and stagecoaches adds recorded sounds to make the visit more immersive.
