       " Deadwood History "

         Deadwood Late 1800rds .

             Deadwood was in the late 1800's

A mining town,  fortunes made & lost overnight was common in deadwood ,

be it by a gunslinger or gold digger,  Indian or  evangelists, murderer to marshal,

prostitutes to presidents -- Deadwood and the Black Hills have ever held 

an attraction to personalities known worldwide. Deadwood Dick, Sitting Bull,

Wild Bill Hickok, Buffalo Bill Cody, Crazy Horse, Sam Bass, Babe Ruth,

Wyatt Earp, William Jennings Bryan, Gutzon Borglum,

Calamity Jane, The Sundance Kid, Calvin Coolidge, Mark Twain,

Preacher Smith, George Armstrong Custer, Bat Masterson, Poker Alice, Black Elk,

Aunt Sally, Big Foot, Teddy Roosevelt -- the famous and infamous have sought faith,

folly, fortune, and fun in "them thar hills."

---------------------------------------------------

A time or two across the years, the dice seemed loaded -- 

the chips were down and the game looked to be played out.  

But when the fickle Fates tried to stack the deck against Deadwood, 

the plucky South Dakota gold camp called their bluff. For Deadwood, 

things always seem to " pan out." To this day !

Perchance it's because Lady Luck smiles on Deadwood. .. 

Deadwood makes time stand still to afford its lucky visitors the romantic, 

Wild West atmosphere that keeps it famous..!

              Deadwoodwestern town To-day 

Deadwood town members are proud that ' Brian Betchley ' the farm owner 

has kindly given his permission to have the town on his farm , 

and look forward to many many happy years at wattlehurst.! 

You can visit Deadwood on open weekends between 10 am and 5 pm, 

and look around inside the buildings and meet the towns folk, 

who love to chat about the history and creation of the town .

There are also some Authentic weekends at Deadwood, 

when westerners camp in authentic tents on a  field just outside the town.

Wattlehurst Farm Also Has Dance week-end's ,  

where visiting band's provide entertainment for all in the barn 

All visitors are made welcome and invited to camp over night with 

their authentic tents on the authentic field,

    or caravan  on the family field.!      

Deadwood  Has appeared on major TV channels, BBC,ITV,Chnl4 ,

because the location is ideal for filming, be it for a drama, kids program, 

documentary, wedding , you name it, But a minimum fee of a £1000 

will be required per day filming to cover costs to the town as deadwood 

is a non profit organization and lives from  members support and visitors donations, 

and that alone makes deadwood what it is to-day a place where there are no strangers,

but just great friends!
