United States / BUTTE, Montana
Location ID: #1004

Hell Roaring Gulch is located just outside of Butte, this recreated 1890's mining town is equipped with an array of period articles that will grab any antique collector's attention. Buildings include the Chinese laundry, sauerkraut factory, funeral parlor and ice house, plus the school, general store and saloon. While you're there, visit the World Museum of Mining and Orphan Girl Mine right next-door.


The World Museum of Mining was founded in 1963 when the close of Butte's mining heyday was less than two decades away. In the end Butte Montana experienced a century of hardrock mining and earned the reputation of being home to one of the world's most productive copper mines of all time. The Museum exists to preserve the enduring history of Butte and the legacy of its rich mining and cultural heritage.

The World Museum of Mining is one of the few museums in the world located on as actual mine yard- the Orphan Girl Mine. With fifty exhibit buildings, countless artifacts, and sixty-six primary exhibits in the mine yard, visitors can spend a couple of hours to an entire day lost in the unfolding story.
