The images in Pam's book depict the beauty that lies along the Pintler Scenic Highway (recently renamed the
Pintler Veterans' Memorial Scenic Highway). There are many historic sites that range from old mines to ghost
towns, some preserved very well, while others have all but disap–peared. One can explore areas east and west
of the scenic highway, such as the Rock Creek Recreation Area, Discovery Ski Basin, Georgetown Lake, Skalkahoe
Pass on Hwy 38, Mt Haggin Wildlife Management Area, and Lost Creek State Park near Anaconda.
The Doe Brothers Soda Fountain was built by M.E. Doe and his brother in law, J.D. Thomas in 1890. It was a drug store and also housed Modini's Grand Hotel and Cafe.
The first gasoline sold in Philipsburg was hand-pumped from barrels in front of the drug store. A physician's office was located upstairs.
