A glimpse of the past with so many things to do, plan on two or three days to see it all. Heritage Center, District Museum, Butte Theater, Gold Bar Theater, Jail Museum, the Molly Kathleen Mine, the Railroad, the CC&V Mine Tour - and then of course there a bit of gambling, if you care to. More

We live not too far away. It's no Vegas if you haven't been there! Old and run down. There are a couple of new casinos though. If you like to gamble, you'll still like it. More
