Uptown Butte

One of the great things about Southwest Montana is that when an event starts growing, you can count on it to keep growing. Heck, we've turned St. Patrick's Day into a full weekend even during the years it falls on a Tuesday or Wednesday. This year, the Uptown Christmas Stroll gets underway at the Courthouse and while there will be music and dancing in the rotunda, there will be a lot of other choices for you to enjoy tonight. Let's take a look at what's happening musically over the next couple of days in our area.

The nominations have been received and reviewed and a distinguished Uptown business has been selected to serve as the Grand Marshal to be honored to help turn on the lights during the tree lighting ceremony at the Courthouse Rotunda and lead the Children's Light Parade.

With Halloween coming up, we've been taking a look at some of Butte's most well-known haunted locations. One place, or rather, places, that bear serious consideration are Butte's mineyards which, for many, became graveyards. Historical markers around any mineyard in Butte give the mine's years of operation, it's depth and somewhat morbidly, the number of men who lost their lives there.

All it takes is a drive through Uptown Butte and it becomes clear that this is a town with history. Rich history. Uptown Butte is a literal historic district, and its history is fascinating. But how well do we know our history? Even with the large number of historic buildings in Uptown Butte, many of us have never seen the inside of many, much less know their history. The B'nai Israel Cultural Center is hoping to change that with the second annual 'Historic Gathering Places Tour" on Saturday, October 21.

Fall must be back because the Elks Lodge at 206 W. Galena is busy with events and this weekend there is something fun going on each day. Here's what we found for this weekend.
