Before Starbucks and iPad apps were a sign of city life, ole’ saloons and horse-drawn carriages were markers of a thriving town. Lucky for us, these historic hubs still exist and are now happening spots for lil’ cowboys and cowgirls. Looking to roll up their sleeves and pan for gold? Or watch an old fashioned shootout without the danger? Flip through our slideshow for the best Wild West Towns across the country.

Deadwood, Sd

Formerly a gold camp in 1876, Deadwood is like Vegas, except 100% Wild West themed. City revitalization has modernized the exterior of buildings a bit, but the old town vibe remains all through the wide streets and rickety, swinging signs. Family friendly attractions include an 1880s train, farms, gold panning, shootout shows and more.
