A gallery of photographs that help reveal a bit of Lawrence County history. From gold mining and ranching to logging and railroading, Lawrence County has a bit of something for everyone -- including the rich history of old Deadwood. This gallery is linked with Historical Marker, the official site of the Lawrence County (SD) Historical Society.
