Historic Homestake Opera House

The Historic Homestake Opera House is a 99-year-old nonprofit historic performing arts venue located in the Black Hills of South Dakota in a 3,000 population town called Lead ("leed") that hosts theatre, dance, and concerts, weddings, and presentations.
It was built in 1914 by the Homestake Gold Mine, the largest gold mine in the Western Hemisphere.
Unfortunately, there was a devastating fire in 1984. The theater was nearly destroyed, but extensive and ongoing restoration work has made it possible to house live performances and events year-round... dedicated to the restoration, use and preservation for future generations, based upon the steadfast belief that this once-thriving creative center is one cornerstone for the preservation, renewal and development of the Lead community.
