The city of Deadwood and the Deadwood Historic Preservation Commission will unveil the Deadwood Termesphere on Monday, April 1. The ceremony will be at 7 p.m. at the Deadwood History and Information Center, 3 Seiver St. Refreshments will be served after the presentation. A Termesphere is a spherical representation that tells a story from many angles. Deadwood commissioned the work from Spearfish artist Dick A. Termes last summer for $25,000. Termes completed the six-month project in time for the upcoming tourist season. The Termesphere depicts Main and Lee streets between 1876 and 1879, during the early days of the gold rush. It portrays numerous buildings and people of the time, including Calamity Jane and Wild Bill Hickok. “I believe this will be a very important art piece for the city of Deadwood, because it will show what the city actually looked like those years before the fire of 1879,” Termes said. “Because of the uniqueness of my art form, I believe people will get a much stronger sense of what that early Deadwood was like. My six-point perspective concept will put the viewer in the middle of Deadwood seeing it to the north, east, south, west, up and down.” For more information, call the Deadwood Historic Preservation Director Jim Wilson at 578-2082.
