Eat! Drink! Sleep!

Visitors to downtown Deadwood, South Dakota, will enjoy staying, dining and playing at the historic Bullock Hotel. City pioneers Seth Bullock and Sol Star opened the Bullock in 1894 and today, with its beautifully appointed guest rooms, it is the oldest operating hotel in the mining town. Many people claim Seth Bullock’s spirit still wanders the halls of his namesake hotel. – COURTESY SOUTH DAKOTA TOURISM –

Travelers who love the Old West and want to experience its history firsthand on a Western heritage vacation have many key decisions to make before hitting the road, including where to visit, eat and sleep. At True West magazine, we believe one of the best ways to discover and enjoy history in person is to plan a vacation that combines tours of communities that have made a commitment to preserving their past, including their historical sites, museums, hotels, restaurants and saloons. Fortunately, preservationists, proprietors and community leaders have worked diligently for decades to save, restore and modernize vintage hotels, restaurants and saloons across the Western United States. From boutique downtown lodges to historic inns and multi-generational guest ranches, hundreds of heritage properties celebrate the lore of the West in their guest rooms, bars and dining rooms.

Whatever happened to the $97,000 from the Reno Gang's last heist? Up to a dozen members of the Reno Gang stopped a Jeffersonville, Madison and Indianapolis train at a watering station in southern Indiana.
