Butte, Montana, nestled in the Rocky Mountains at 5,545 feet, hosts
classic architecture, a vibrant past, and an abundance of colorful
characters. The massive copper ore deposits underlying the town
earned it the nickname aThe Richest Hill on Earth,a and Butte was
the nationas major supplier of copper that helped electrify the
world. Also shown here is Butteas early adoption of innovative
ideas and technologies, a practice that kept the city thriving
despite the vagaries of the mining industry. The enduring spirit of
its people, however, lends Butte an exuberant character. Unlike
other mining towns, Butte had the audacity to survive, and its rich
history and forward thinking will ensure its existence for many
generations to come. Today statuesque gallows frames stand
testament to Butteas mining past, along with a historic town center
that reminds people of that eraas prosperity.
