Broken Boot Gold Mine
In the spring of 1876, the call of gold led a flood of miners, merchants, muleskinners and madams to sweep into Deadwood Gulch.
The intriguing story of one of America’s last great gold rushes comes to life at Deadwood’s Broken Boot Gold Mine, established in 1878.
The mine sat vacant for 36 years. In 1954, a group of Deadwood businessmen re-opened it as a tourist attraction.
Step into the Black Hills' best underground mine tour and return to a time when the powerful punch of a miner’s pick and the roaring boom of dynamite signaled the ongoing search for the richest veins of gold on Earth.
