<p>Step beneath the surface of Deadwood's storied hills and into the cool, dimly lit tunnels of the Broken Boot Gold Mine. This authentic hard-rock mine invites you to walk the same drifts where miners once swung picks in search of gold during the Black Hills rush of the 1870s.</p><p>The Broken Boot Gold Mine makes history tangible in a way few sites can. Above ground, a wooden headframe marks the entrance; below, ore carts, original timbering, and the faint mineral scent of the rock tell the real story of how fortunes were won and lost in this rugged corner of South Dakota.</p>
