We enjoyed an awe inspired sleigh ride with horses. Andy went above and beyond to accommodate our large group with 2 horse drawn sleighs and 8 horses. Complete with a fire and hot chocolate. We were blessed with a snowfall. One of our Best Christmas's!!

Overall Ratings

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.

Built in 1914 by the Homestake Gold Mine the building boasted a billiards hall, bowling alley, library, 1,000-seat theater, and a 25-yd. heated indoor swimming pool. The elaborately designed building survived a theater fire in 1984 and sat empty for nearly a dozen years; but now is a nonprofit performing arts venue hosting 50+ events per year in theatre, dance, and concerts, and educational presentations while the first-ever plasterwork within the interior theater begins restoration progress in 2017.
