WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL: In operation for over 50
years, the World Museum of Mining pays
homage to the rich mining history of this
fascinating Montana town. Butte was settled
as a mining camp in the 1860s, known for a
period of time as "The Richest Hill on Earth."
Gold, silver, quartz, and copper, excavated in
massive amounts, are the reason Butte prospered
and thrived. This museum is a must-visit for anyone interested in
the history of Montana. It offers general admission to the exhibits,
as well as in-depth mine tours to 100 feet below ground. Visitors
on the 100-foot tour will see the original shaft and workings of the
2,700-foot mine, and will get a glimpse of the Orphan Girl vein, one
of the only exposed veins in the country available to be viewed by
the public.
WHILE YOU'RE HERE: Grab a drink at Headframe Spirits and take the
whole family to cool off at Ridge Waters Waterpark. Still looking for
more history? The Butte Trolley Tours offer an overview of the color-
ful history of this mining town.
The World Museum of Mining
IS A MUST-VISIT FOR ANYONE INTERESTED
IN THE HISTORY OF MONTANA.
