Historic Trophies Repaired and Revitalized at

Deadwood Recreation and

Aquatic Center The City of Deadwood Recreation & Aquatic Center has over 70

historic trophies from Deadwood High School on display.

Brothers Jim and Bob Phillips graciously donated their time in

locating, cleaning, repairing, and researching the trophies. They

had been placed in storage rooms and closets since the 2008

improvements at the Deadwood Recreation & Aquatic Center

and some were located at the Black Hills Mining Museum.

This spring the Black

Hills Mining Museum

donated several trophy

cases to the cause.

With the help of local

citizen David Cote, the

cases were repaired with the addition of doors, cast-

ers, and lights.

Through the generous efforts of Jim and Bob Phil-

lips and David Cote the Deadwood Historic Preser-

vation assisted with the material repair costs to the cases and trophies and has them proudly

Vacation Rental Ordinance Reminder

Deadwood Property Owners: As many of you may know, the commercial transient use of residentially zoned properties is prohibited within Deadwood city limits. The nightly rental of a property must be commercially zoned or operate with an approved conditional use permit for a Manager Stay Bed and Breakfast. Vacation rentals, as allowed by the State of South Dakota Department of Health, are PROHIBITED in residentially zoned property within the City of Deadwood and where permitted must be licensed with the State of South Dakota and register with the City of Deadwood as a commercial lodging establishment. The growing trend to vacation rental properties while appealing to not only the owner, but the customer in Deadwood is a liability to you as an owner. Not only is the safety of the customer very important while staying in a lodging establishment, but both the customer and the property owner are subject to fine if found in violation of City of Deadwood Codified Ordinance 17.53. The City of Deadwood asks that if you are actively using your property as a vacation rental to stop and to remove all marketing from all websites. If you have any questions in regards to vacation rentals or the ordinance please feel free to contact me anytime. Thank you.
