The Brothel Deadwood

Walk through one of Deadwood’s houses of ill repute, an industry that operated illegally in the city from 1876 until 1980, when a raid by federal agents finally closed them for good.

Brothels were a fixture on the second story of buildings on Deadwood’s Main Street for more than a century. Local sex workers had an impact on the development of the community in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Visitors are transported through this 104-year story with a guided tour of the rooms at 610 Main Street, the original site of the Shasta Rooms brothel. The rooms are curated with a variety of period appropriate furnishings.

Brothel Tour Admission $15 per person.

Visitors must be at least 16 years old.

“A town is young just as long as it stays off the railroad…
But Deadwood was young so long that it will never quite forget its youth.”
Buffalo Bill Cody - Deadwood The Golden Years, Watson Parker
