Wild Bill Hickock's tombstone. While the saloon where he was shot and died burned down (with much of Deadwood) a few years after his death, there is a reconstruction of that section of the building inside the current building -- which is (surprise!) a bar with slot machines. There is even an "X" marking the spot where he fell mortally wounded. (He was shot from behind while playing poker.)
