Experience an Old West Shootout aboard the 1880 Train! Conflicts between lawmen and bad guys were an important part of the story of the Wild West, and here’s your chance to experience a recreation of history and legend right on the spot. Sunday evening shootouts begin at the Hill City Station where danger is in the air! It's a good thing the sheriff is in town!


Note: All Old West Shootout riders must depart from Hill City at 5:00 pm. Shootout special event trains cannot be combined with Keystone departures or earlier departures. The shootout performance occurs alongside the middle of the stopped train about halfway between Hill City and Keystone. The train ride to Keystone resumes once the performance is completed!

We are excited to announce our newest event series, Angel’s Share Social Club. Discover local artisans in an interactive creative experience highlighted by hand-crafted cocktails and curated bites from The Canal Club. Each event features a different artist or local business and a special immersive activity, all paired with a unique curated culinary menu.


Did you know? As the alcohol or spirit matures in a barrel or cast, a small fraction of the liquid is lost to evaporation, this liquid is called the "Angel's Share". The amount varies by barrel size, time, environmental conditions, and location. When wood barrels are used, the percentage of liquid absorbed in the wood is called the "Devil's Cut".
