Surrounded by national forests in western Montana, Butte is a charming town steeped in a rich history. First settled in the 1860s, Butte was a prosperous mining town, earning the nickname the “Richest Hill on Earth.” Butte’s historical roots are proudly on display throughout the town today, from the intricate Victorian architecture of Uptown Butte to the fascinating portrayals of the past at the World Museum of Mining.
Butte boasts a true small-town atmosphere with a strong sense of community fostered by an array of exciting events, including the Montana Folk Festival, Silver Bow County Fair, Butte-toberfest, Evel Knievel Days, and the An Ri Ra Montana Irish Festival. The community also bonds over outdoor adventure, with close proximity to many scenic parks, sprawling national forests, and the rugged Northern Rockies. Yellowstone National Park is also just a short drive away from Butte. Convenience to I-15 and I-90 makes getting around from Butte easy.
