We came at the end of the end of the off season so there was no admittance fee. It was about 8:30 am and the cemetery is quiet. Very picturesque. Wild Bill and Calamity Jane's grave sites are well preserved and maintained. I wish I did come with a group because I think i missed out on a lot of... More

A visit to Mt. Moriah cemetery allows you to learn the whole history of Deadwood just by strolling amongst the headstones using the map given out by the cemetery association.

But, this is also a... More

Besides having celebrities like Hickok, Calamity, Potato Creek Johnnie, and Preacher Smith, the view looking down at Deadwood is worth the trip all by itself. For an even better view, for the more adventurous (and in good hiking shape), you can hike up the side of Mt. Moriah to the grave-site of Seth Bullock, and see Mt Roosevelt across the... More
