12. Jewish American Pioneers and Deadwood

Unheralded heroes of the American West.

The Jewish American pioneers who settled in Deadwood played a fundamental role in helping to tame the rough-and-wild town of Deadwood. Besides helping establish a government, they also operated many businesses.
The impressive Franklin Hotel, Goldberg’s Grocery and Ben Baer buildings are several creations of these successful pioneers.
Look across Wall Street, and you’ll see interpretive sign No. 13.
