Of course, the spirits have to be the best part of visiting a distillery. Because of the Irish influence on Butte, this place has a great selection of bourbon, rye, Irish whiskey, and single-malt whiskey. There's also grain-based vodka and gin. You ask for a tasting, and can have eight, or four and a serious drink as part of the deal. On a gray afternoon, we did the four each and ended with a traditional Martini and a Moscow mule. We were not disappointed. Midafternoon, we had the place to ourselves. Go early and stay late!

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.

Free! As part of the college, it is in a great old building on top of a hill. Wonderful views of Butte. If you like gems and minerals and history, you will like this little 'gem' of a museum.

I was here at Stodden Park when they finished this park. It is gorgeous!. Once you enter, you see a huge sign: "The Stodden Park." There was a huge shelter and lots of picnic tables. All was new when I arrived here. They had a large swimming pool and all the gadgets with water. It was huge as well. There was also a playground with no water. There is a carousel as well. There is here as well tennis and gold. This is for anyone, young and old. Enjoy! A must see!
