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 –

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.
