The Story
VibeSawdust floors, mounted heads on the wall, an old upright piano, and staff in period dress. Feels like walking into 1876.
James Butler 'Wild Bill' Hickok was shot in the back of the head at a poker table in Deadwood on August 2, 1876. Saloon No. 10 stands as the enshrined memorial to that moment — the chair he was sitting in hangs on the wall, and the Dead Man's Hand shooting is reenacted four times a day during summer.
