    Dumas Brothel - One of the upstairs rooms

    Dumas Brothel

    Disappointed!! Well, it does have a great story behind them but it stops there. At $15.00 per…read moreperson, pretty pricey. While I agree that it's always best to keep an old historical building in its original condition, preservation. Is important. But, the new owners took control In 2018, and they still have so many rooms still being used for storage. Very disorganized. It smells horrible and the damp floors were soft and in some places, it felt like the floorboards were going to collapse from under me. I'm actually surprised, the City hasn't condemned it yet. Interestingly, it was the longest running Brothel in the US.... 1890-1982 !! The downstairs area, as told, has been kept original, including booze bottles, curtains & cigarette butts. Rugs, wet walls & I'm sure the bedding is what is smelling. But.....by being on the Historical Records, it should not allow the extensive condition of this place. I don't know.., but, there has to be Reconstruction Grants available. I wouldn't pay that price for this condition of a museum. Very sad.

    One of my favorite museums to visit in Montana, the Dumas Brothel is currently the longest running…read morebrothel in the U.S., and it has a unique history that speaks to Butte's history and the history of women's labor. Our guide, who owns the building with her husband, was friendly and super knowledgeable about history, the women who worked at the brothel, the brothel's founders, and the building's architecture. We learned that the brothel is built in the Victorian style, and it was constructed specifically to be a brothel. Many of the rooms contain relics from the past that you can check out, including clothing, makeup, bedding, furniture, and more. I know the owners are still working on restoring the place and it's looking great. My favorite part was either the upstairs, where you could see red lights and the Madame's room, or the basement, which was a bit harrowing and slightly haunted, in my humble opinion. It was really interesting to think about the circumstances surrounding women's labor in Butte, and how this line of work could have both empowering and difficult elements. In terms of Butte museums, this was the one I enjoyed most.

    Absolutely worth the stop. This ranch was acquired by the NPS with all the original documents,…read morefurnishings, out buildings and conveyances. This is a working ranch. In summer staff grow, cut and store hay in the way thenoriginal ranchers did. A chuck wagon is set up by the barns where staff cook over an open fire and tell stories of cattle ranching. And yes, they do still have cattle on the ranch. Besides a tour of the home and many barns, bunkhouse and sheds, there are multiple trails to enjoy. This area gets quite hot in the summer so be sure to have water and sun protection. In winter it's windy and cold, so dress warm. A good amount of both car and RV parking is available. Public restrooms near the visitor center and the house. If in the area, this is definitely worth a visit for an hour or a day. Picnic tables are availble for guests use.

    I wasn't really sure what was the historical significance of this to warrant NPS status, until I…read moredid the tour of the historic ranch house and read some of the displays. Essentially, when people think of the Wild West and the cowboys, it was only a small period of time due to mild weather. As the United States expanded westward and the Native Americans and bison were being pushed out or killed, there were large tracts of unsettled grassland. Anyone could set up shop or a house or trading post without much fuss. The cattle industry expanded and so large herds of cattle lived on the open range mostly unattended until the spring round up to brand calves and separate out mature animals to sell. Hence, the cowboys were used for this hard work. The industry collapsed as overgrazing led to to insufficient winter forage, especially during the harsh winter of 1886-1887, when hundreds of thousands of cattle died. Bison were able to get through the snow for forage, but cattle could not. Also, the invention of barbed wire led to the parceling and ownership of private land, cutting down on the open range available for cattle to graze on. This park preserves one of the ranches of the time when cattle were grazing on the open range. There's cattle, horses, chickens, and barn cats to see, as well as many historic farm equipment. It was very fun to explore and clarified a time in US history I didn't give much thought to before.

    I came here right after the Visitor Center changed their hours, so the official NPS website didn't…read morereflect the new hours. The change was apparently posted to their Facebook page a few days before though. And so I arrived to a closed Visitor Center. It seemed like I wasn't the only one, as there were a handful of other cars that pulled up into the parking lot. Oh well. I went on the Siege Area Trail which is 1.2 miles round trip. The trailhead has an interpretive brochure that explains points of interest on the trail, which made it easy to picture the events that occurred during the battle. For some reason, I couldn't see or missed some numbered stops on the trail, so it was somewhat confusing. Maybe the trail needs some updating to make them more visible? Overall, this is a somber visit to a battlefield that was not mentioned in my school textbooks. It's a reminder that we should not forget history.

    These are the grounds where the US military attacked the Nez Perce in an attempt to remove them…read morefrom the area and stick them on a reservation. Unfortunately it was snowing on the day we visited (yes, in May!) So we couldn't really see the battefield, nor walk around outside. The visitor's center is very informative though and there's even a 20 min film you can watch to learn about the history of the attacks. Highly recommend stopping by if you're into history or national parks. Don't forget your NPS passport book!
