Lead is a historic mining city located in Lawrence County, South Dakota. The city's development is closely tied to the discovery of gold in the Black Hills region during the late 19th century.
Lead was home to the Homestake Mine, which was once the largest and deepest gold mine in North America before its closure in 2002. The mine operated continuously for 126 years, significantly influencing the city's culture and development.
Today, Lead maintains its connection to scientific research as the site houses the Sanford Underground Research Facility, a state-of-the-art physics laboratory built within the former mine. The city's rich mining heritage is preserved through various historic buildings and cultural institutions, offering visitors insight into the region's gold rush era and its impact on American industrial history.
