The Historic Homestake Opera House theater entrance and Interpretive Exhibit are open during events and free to enjoy for event patrons.
But because of restoration construction within the theater, our regular 30-minute tours are available by simply calling ahead for the next available time slot to keep the environment safe for visitors and also keep our construction going.
Tour admission is $5 per person and kids under 10 are free. Tours with the swimming pool included are $10 for groups of a dozen or less only.

The HHOH business office hours are 9:00 am - 3:00 pm Monday-Friday and the office is located in the rear of the building on Julius Street.

The building, theater, and Interpretive Exhibit is wheelchair accessible. Tourism helps support the fundraising operation of this historic building. Find out more about the building at HomestakeOperaHouse.org.

Call 605-584-2067 to schedule your tour. Thank you for your support of saving America’s historic places!

​HISTORIC HOMESTAKE OPERA HOUSE SOCIETY MISSION:
Built in 1914 by the Phoebe Hearst and her Homestake Gold Mining Company, this historic performing arts venue and recreation center boasted an exquisite theater with 1,000 seats, and a library, a bowling alley, a billiards hall, a social hall, and a heated indoor swimming pool. 

From its construction in 1914 until a catastrophic fire in 1984, the Opera House was the center of community life and lifelong education in Lead, South Dakota. The Society is dedicated to its restoration, use, and preservation for future generations, in the belief that it is the cornerstone for the preservation, renewal, and development of our community.
​
While these efforts continue, the Society makes use of the facility to the extent possible to generate revenue and advance its mission. 
The theater is host to 40 performing arts/educational events while restoration progress is underway from a fire in 1984. The theater currently seats 500. Visit year-round for building tours and see the new Interpretive Center upstairs and recently restored walls in the theater.
This institution is an equal opportunity provider. Click here to read our full statement.
