William Jacob Stone comments, "Wharf Resources did investigate moving the Trojan School and offered it the Lawrence County Historical Society if they could have it moved. It proved quite costly and otherwise unfeasable. Permission was granted by the State Historic Preservation Office as long as the building was sufficiently documented."

The Trojan School (last standing Trojan building) has been lost, the efforts to save Terry Cemetery are current, but other activities like Jon Crane's Black Hills Preservation Trust (Meeker Ranch and Gold Mountain Mine) remain active c.

Richard - thanks for the post. I really appreciate the comments about my ancestry. It's great to be a fourth generation Black Hills Pioneer and descendant of both sides of my family that were here before 1880.
The date on the photo should read
1 Sept 2010. It was quite sad to be there to document the demolishion. I have a photo record of many similar events over the past thiry years.
Wharf has no plans to mine or move the Terry Cemetery. Too costly and of course bad PR. It would be nice though to have it designated as a historic site.
Thanks again for the wonderful site.

I have a set of auditorium seats (3 together) that I was told by the person I got them from, they were from the Deadwood High School, before they tore it down. They got them from someone they were friends with around Sturgis. They do have DHS on the metal part, they have the wood backs and seats. I would like to know more about them. I have been trying to look it up on the internet, but have not been successful.
