"The Adams House Museum can be found in a residential section, just west of Main Street. Take Main Street, turn right on Lee Street, that runs right into Sherman Street. Turn right onto Sherman, which runs into Pine. Continue on Pine, pass Center Street. Turn left onto Cemetery, and then in about a block, turn right onto Van Buren. The Adams House Museum is on the left, near the corner of Lincoln and Van Buren." ~ Haunted Houses.com


"DEADWOOD, S.D. (KOTA TV) - It's that time of year when spooky attractions are popping up everywhere in the spirit of Halloween. The Historic Adams House is one of them.

"Then, his second wife Mary locked up the house by 1936 and left it as is, so it's pretty spectacular. When the Deadwood Historic Preservation and the city of Deadwood chose to purchase this house, they ran it as a bed and breakfast. In no time at all, they had a historic preservation officer that said, 'we need to make this into a house museum' and that's what they did and now it's all preserved for everybody to see," Speirs said.

"Mary claimed the house was haunted after locking it and she would never stay there when visiting South Dakota. Some believe the reason why it was kept in such great condition was the rumor of spirits around the house." ~ KOTA-TV
