Say “Deadwood” in most places across this country or around the world, and folks are likely to immediately think of the rip-roarin’ days of the Old West, when speculators from everywhere came to make their fortunes in the tough little mining town featured in the HBO series of the same name.Say “Adams Museum & House,” and those same people won’t have a clue what you’re talking about! Well, perhaps they might, since the museum is continuing to grow as a marvelous resource for Deadwood and for anyone who wants to know more about the history of the northern Black Hills and the Old West. They’re very well known in the immediate area, and I suspect the Adams Museum and House will continue to gain popularity among tourists and serious historical researchers.
We enjoyed another benefit of membership in the Adams Museum this week – a wonderful classical guitar concert performed by William Feasley. His youthful appearance belies a seasoned talent who is at ease with his audience and capable of mesmerizing all with his skillful precision on the guitar...and his quick smile! His web site offers a brief interlude of his musical talent, as well as additional information about this world recognized classical guitarist.
Feasley's performance before a packed house at the Adams Museum was a splendid event.
Congratulations to Mary Kopco and her staff for bringing Feasley to us. Luring such events is a feather in the hat of the Adams Museum, and it’s another of the growing list of reasons why those of us who chose to live in the northern Black Hills know we made the right decision!
