Butte Trolley Tours opening for the summer season

When it comes to a town as rich in history as Butte is, it's hard to pick a place to tour or an interesting place to learn about.  When you're surrounded by as much living history as we are, sometimes it's best to leave it to the experts.  The Butte Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce that they have the experts literally on board, as another summer of Trolley Tours in the Mining City are set to begin on Memorial Day.

The Butte Trolley Tours are a treasure of sightseeing, information and fun.  You'll be aboard a replica Butte streetcar and you'll see Butte's history come alive before your eyes and ears.  Your tour guide will be not only a great storyteller but a true Butte historian with a love for the city and a knowledge of the stories behind the places that you will visit.

Trolley tours cover Butte's incredible mining history but also looks at the other things that made our town so historical.  Butte is as rich in political and labor history as it it in mining history.  You'll see Butte's polished side as well as it's sometimes seamy underbelly.  You'll learn about the dark side of Butte's history, such as strikes and even riots.  You'll visit the locations where history was made.  And if you sign up for the Spooks & Spirits tour later this summer you'll even visit some of the Mining City's reportedly haunted locations.

Tours start and end at the Butte Chamber of Commerceat 1000 George St.. For further details or to register, call (406) 723-3177.
