Adams Museum

Deadwood, SD

This 1930 museum preserves some of the Black Hills' strangest artifacts, including the mysterious Thoen Stone, a large gold nugget and a rare plesiosaur specimen. Its collection gives context to Deadwood's gold-rush mythology while retaining the oddities that made early regional museums memorable.
