One sure sign that summer has finally arrived is when you come across the famous Butte Trolley cruising the streets of the Mining City, off on another one of its history tours and generally with very few empty seats.  And with good reason.  For generations the Butte Trolley Tour has been one of the best ways to get familiar with the rich and colorful history of the Mining City, even if you are not a tourist.  The trolley tour hits all of Butte's historical hotspots and with a very knowledgeable driver who will explain the significance and history of the many sites that you will see.

In addition to the daytime trolley tours, again this year, Spooks and Spirits - Whispers from the Grave will take place on Wednesday evenings from 6 to 8 with the tour group meeting at Headframe Spirits.  The tour is led by master historian and expert ghost hunter Chris Fisk and will explore many of the allegedly haunted locations in Uptown Butte.  Although this tour is not for the faint of heart it is incredibly entertaining and fun.  It is an adult only tour and it fills up fast so book now.
