Kevin Costner has a Saloon/Casino/Restaurant right on Main Street. It is called the Midnight Star and Big & Rich are renovating an old building related to the mine for a Hotel and whatever. Kevin shows up there every so often. Very neat place to visit.
Then we went on to Spearfish which is known for the D.C. Booth Historic National Fish Hatchery. It is known for bringing Rainbow and Brown Trout to the streams of the Black Hills. The brown were transported probably as eggs from Scotland. Other trout species were tried but only these two took hold. They got the original eggs by going overland carrying a boat on a wagon to Yellowstone and did this for quite a number of years. Then they would take them from the hatchery to other places via railroad fish cars and they had a refurbished one there. It was a very interesting stop.
We also went to the High Plains Western Heritage Museum which had items related to the American Indians,mining, ranching,forestry, cowboys and rodeos and the homes of the day. It was also very interesting. But the drive thru Spearfish Canyon was breath taking with the very fast flowing creek or river along side us.
