We had our board meeting today: here's the update.<p></p><p>- The LCHS board placed the head stone for Dr. William G. Brown in the West Lead Cemetery today. (Photos attached) It was a lovely day, and many thanks to board member Derek Henderson for carrying and placing the heavy stone with reverence. It's located in the upper North East part of the cemetery. His new head stone sits on the hill, next to the little rusty sign that originally designated his grave. </p><p>-Three historical projects we decided to proceed with: </p><p>1. Mark the place where Calamity Jane died</p><p>2. Mark the Cheyenne Crossing stage stop</p><p>3. Levi Blizzard's new head stone </p><p>-We agreed on a new project as well: Making plaques for Historical Homes/Businesses/Persons/Cemeteries/Churches, etc. If you want to submit for a historical plaque contact us at lawrencecountyhistory@gmail.com.</p><p>-We're in the works of getting an interesting Historian to come speak at our September Member Meeting. Stay tuned for the upcoming announcement of who and when!</p><p>That's all for now, make some History today folks!<br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Crysti Ardavanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10056476865211348887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160953176742046067.post-74781004410448641772022-08-21T12:10:00.003-06:002022-08-21T12:10:59.042-06:00Doc Brown headstone is in!<p> The headstone of Doc Brown has arrived! We look forward to placing it in the West Lead Cemetery (in the Masonic section) tomorrow afternoon, Monday Aug 22nd. The LCHS board will be placing it around 3:00 pm, after our meeting. </p><p>Doc Brown was a doctor in Lead around the turn of the century. He lived in the area that is now the open cut. He never had a head stone (that we know of) so we had one made. Have a stroll in the West Lead Cemetery and visit Dr. Brown on a nice autumn day! He is located near the top of the hill, so wear your walkin' shoes.<br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Crysti Ardavanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10056476865211348887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160953176742046067.post-42226567126550683932021-09-19T14:17:00.002-06:002021-09-19T14:17:56.883-06:00LCHS Fall Meeting A Success<p> Thank you to all who attended our Fall program. Marvin Barry was dazzling on the banjo during our delicious-as-always luncheon. Dave Brueckner rocked the day with tasty food and lots of History on Cheyenne Crossing. He was entertaining and informational, and he was well-received by all. A special welcome to Jason Sumners, our newest member who alerted us to the need to preserve the headstone of Levi Blizzard. </p><p>We found out that Doctor W.G. Brown was a dentist in Lead who died in 1920. We are replacing his dilapidated marker with a headstone in the West Lead Cemetery. We also will be replacing Calamity Jane's historical marker in the future.</p><p>Keep checking in for all our new projects!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Crysti Ardavanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10056476865211348887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160953176742046067.post-52015936324682671352019-10-18T10:54:00.001-06:002019-10-18T10:59:38.674-06:00Fall 2019 Member Meeting - Cemetery Walk<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

From Donna Watson - Long serving LCHS Board Member and current Vice President</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>On December 13<sup>th</sup> the members of the Deadwood
Historic Preservation Commission (5/2) set aside precedent and their oaths of
office to allow Deadwood Mountain Grand to build three sets of time share units
(“chalets”) seven and eight stories high on the steep side of McGovern Hill,
which happens to look down upon a portion of historic Deadwood. In past years
other gaming resorts in town have requested permission to tear down hillsides
above their establishments to create greater space, but have generally been
denied. As a resident of Deadwood I can only wonder what prompted these
stewards of our town’s historic preservation to turn their backs on precedent
and practicality to allow this debacle. I fear there’s something rotten in the
“state” of Deadwood.</b> <o:p></o:p></div>

Commission voted that the Mountain Grand Chalets project covering McGovern Hill
would “<i>encroach upon, damage, or destroy any historic property included in
the national register of historic places or the state register of historic
places</i>” in Deadwood.</span><span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

building 3 to 4 seven-stories high condominiums across the top of McGovern Hill
in Deadwood. This will have a significant adverse effect on Deadwood, since
McGovern Hill is an historic focal point in the downtown area. No

Whitewood remained the “End of the Line” until the railroad main line was completed through St. Onge to Belle Fourche in 1890 and the branch line to Deadwood was completed the same year. One Whitewood Historic researcher commented about how difficult it was to get the wording on the Marker just right.. “To tell the whole story in so few words was hard.
