Interview: Deadwood Mountain Grand serves as the perfect gateway to underrated Fall destination


Very few cities exemplify the American frontier like Deadwood, South Dakota.

It was a rugged mining town brought to life by the discovery of gold. It suffered scandal, multiple town-wide fires, and hard economic downturns, but it would not be denied its place in American history. It was seemingly kept alive through sheer will and fortitude.

In 1961, the entire town was designated a National Historic Landmark due to its well-preserved collection of late 19th-century frontier architecture. For generations of Americans, its name has become synonymous with the Old West.

Throughout the years and the changing seasons, Deadwood has embraced millions of visitors eager to learn about the legends that once called the area home: Wyatt Earp, Martha “Calamity Jane” Canary, and “Wild Bill” Hickok.

Ready to welcome guests throughout every season is the Deadwood Mountain Grand.

The historic building that Deadwood Mountain Grand calls home dates back to the earliest days of the city itself, springing up in the 1870s when gold was first discovered in the area and being a beacon of the town ever since.

The Deadwood Mountain Grand Hotel not only offers exemplary amenities and excellent service (with equally stunning reviews across Google, IHG’s in-house review system, and TripAdvisor.com), but it also boasts unparalleled views of downtown Deadwood and the surrounding Black Hills.

This also allows Deadwood Mountain Grand to be the perfect gateway and home base for those travelers looking to hike or bike around the Black Hills, shop and be entertained in Deadwood’s historic districts, or take in the city’s Old West culture and charm.
