Lead Deadwood Arts Center

Reviewed By G331POjanb

The Arts Center offers beautiful items for sale by area artists and the center also offers classes and special events periodically, such as the Lego competition for kids. I recently had a piece of glass replaced for a print that my husband loves. He was thrilled with the results. The quality of work is superb. I will be taking more pictures to the Arts Center for framing.

Sanford Lab Homestake Visitor Center

Perched at the edge of the Open Cut, we offer surface tours (summer only) and guided indoor tours! Come learn about Lead's (pronounced leed) history with the Homestake Mining Company, its present and its future as scientists search for dark matter, neutrinos and other secrets of the universe.

The best place to start is at the 3D structure/sculpture in the middle of the visitor's center. Hopefully you will find someone who can explain what you're looking at as there is a lot to digest about the mine and the lab. This is history and the future, all in one place! The Homestake Mining Company played an important role in the Black Hills and specifically in Lead. And if you have a family, definitely take the time to hit a "hole in one" into the Open Cut! It's fun and a priceless memory for all ages, even those who are just watching. The science taking place in the underground lab is mind-blowing.
