In Deadwood, South Dakota, Adams Museum and House pairs the Black Hills' oldest history museum with a preserved Queen Anne residence that reflects the town's more prosperous era after its early mining years. Founded in 1930 by former mayor W.E. Adams and given to the city, the museum centers on the Black Hills gold rush and the people tied to Deadwood's frontier reputation, including Wild Bill, Calamity Jane, and Deadwood Dick. Its notable artifacts include the J.B. Haggin Locomotive, the Thoen Stone, and Potato Creek Johnny's gold nugget. The Adams House, built in 1892 and later bought by Adams, remains furnished with original family pieces and restored interiors.
