At the turn-of-the-century, Butte was one of the largest
cities west of the Mississippi. Today, Butte's colorful
history can be seen in its ethnic neighborhoods,
preserved Victorian uptown business district and stately
mansions. Located virtually on the Continental Divide,
surrounded by mountains, the Mile High City lies on
some of the world's richest mineral reserves. The
outlying area features numerous ghost towns and abandoned
mines. More
