Fun Facts

The Friendship Tower was constructed in 1919 to commemorate the friendship between Seth Bullock, a prominent Deadwood sheriff, and President Theodore Roosevelt.

The tower is designed in a rustic style, using local stone to blend seamlessly with the surrounding Black Hills landscape.

Visitors can enjoy stunning views of the Black Hills from the top of the tower, making it a popular spot for photography enthusiasts.

The tower is situated on Mount Roosevelt, a site chosen by Seth Bullock for its scenic beauty and its connection to his late friend, Theodore Roosevelt.

The tower is accessible via the Mount Roosevelt Trail, a short and scenic hike that is part of the Black Hills National Forest trail system.
