By
1900, the Butte Hill and its huge copper
deposits were known as "the richest hill
on earth." In fact, at the turn of the century,
Butte was one of the largest cities west
of the Mississippi. After a worldwide slump
in the copper market shut down mining operations
in 1983, Butte citizens bounced back with
a "can do" attitude.

Because the town was such a booming
metropolis in its early days, much of that mining
flavor is still prevalent as is the pride of the
people who live there. Butte has often been referred
to as "the richest hill on earth," and you'll see
that it's not only rich in material wealth, but
in history as well. The people who built Butte were
both native and foreign born. Most of the latter
came from Ireland, Cornwall and Wales. But immigrants
came to Butte from all European nations, Canada,
Mexico and China as well. You'll enjoy the exquisite
architectural detail and 32 rooms of antiques. Arts
Chateau, a turn of the century mansion also on the
National Historic Register, features changing art
exhibits, marvelous collections and elegant architecture.
Other historic points of interest include The Mai
Wah, a historic building in the heart of Butte's
old Chinatown that houses displays and artifacts
relating the story of Chinese miners.
