Why you should go…

The Brothel Deadwood offers a guided tour of the former Shasta Rooms on the second floor of 610 Main Street, where prostitution operated legally and then illegally in Deadwood from 1876 until a 1980 federal raid closed it down. The tour moves through a series of period-furnished rooms interpreting the century-long history of the trade in the town. It is operated by Deadwood History Inc. and recommended for visitors 16 and older.
