Butte is proud of its diverse and rich history and this place is extremely well funded and well run. Attractive building, too and really well laid out. I visited briefly a couple of times and barely began to scratch the surface. If you have any interest in the local history or any family roots in Butte, by all means check it out and you'll be impressed. I wish I had taken a tour. Next time.
2. Our Lady of the Rockies
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 121 reviews
"Our Lady of the Rockies", a 90-foot statue sitting atop the Continental Divide is the result of a dream and six years of hard work.With the help of generous donations and a wealth of love and faith, countless volunteers completed a seemingly impossible task. On December 29, 1985 "Our Lady" was placed on the East Ridge to overlook Butte, Montana. The base sits at an elevation of 8510 feet above sea level and 3500 feet above the mile high city of Butte. The statue, lighted and visible at night, is a spectacular sight to behold.

We had a hard time to find the "Our Lady of the Rockies." Eventually we found it. There is a monument of Our Lady of the Rockies. It is elevated 8000 feet and at the same time it is exactly at the continental divide overlook. This is a must see!

4. Dumas Brothel Museum
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 74 reviews
The Dumas Brothel is located in the heart of the old Red-Light district in Uptown Butte, Montana USA. Built in 1890, the Dumas' sole purpose was to serve the predominately male population that sprang out of Butte's mining boom. As a house of prostitution, it operated for 92 years until its closure in 1982, making it America's longest running "house of ill-repute." As the only brothel remaining in Butte Montana, the Dumas is now a museum & antique shop. Tours of the Dumas brothel are available year-round, and it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Dumas is also the last vestige of the Victorian Brothel style architecture existing in the United States today. Since 2012, the new owner's have been diligently working to preserve, restore, and protect the 126 year old iconic structure from meeting its demise. Butte's Red-Light district was the largest and most expansive in the West, and visiting the Dumas Brothel recalls a time when vice was key to Butte's rise to prominence, second only to its success as a mining metropolis.
