EXCURSION: Explore Historic Butte, MT
2023-09-12 08:30 - 16:30 (America/Denver)
February 2026 Board Meeting

Butte, Montana, was once one of the largest cities in the American Northwest. It attracted people from all around the world because of the mining being carried on there.

We will go on a guided tour 100 feet into the Orphan Girl Mine at 10:30 am to see the original shaft station. On this walking tour, you will view one of the few exposed veins in North America that can be seen by the public. We will also spend some time looking at the World Museum of Mining exhibits.

After lunch, we will have a guided tour of the spectacular frescoed interior of Holy Trinity Orthodox Church [Serbian Orthodox Patriarchate]. Butte was home to a large population of Serbian immigrants who came from the area at the crossroads of Central and Southeastern Europe (formerly eastern Yugoslavia).

Guests are welcome!

2023-11-09 11:00 - 13:30
February 2026 Board Meeting

Come with us on a private backstage tour of the 100-year-old, historic Ellen Theater, led by the Executive Director, John Ludden!

Members: Login for details and to RSVP.

The Ellen first opened her doors on December 1, 1919, and hosted variety shows, silent movies, school plays, town band performances and even an opera featuring a live elephant. Unfortunately, The Ellen, along with other similar theatres across the country, suffered decades of disrepair. In 2005, however, Montana TheatreWorks, a local non-profit theatre group, established the goal of saving The Ellen and purchased the building and in April 2008 began the monstrous task of renovation. The Ellen reopened her doors on December 4, 2008 and presented a production of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.

Among those who have graced The Ellen stage include Lily Tomlin, The Vienna Boys Choir, New York’s The Acting Company, Herb Alpert, Ed Asner, Rita Coolidge, Arlo Guthrie, Judy Collins, and many more.
