Butte, Montana was originally a mining town. Mining generated so much wealth that Butte is known as "The Richest Hill on Earth." Mining isn't the only thing that makes it rich. Located in the mountains of Montana Butte is an ideal base for trips to ski resorts, hiking trails and fishing spots. But within the town itself, there is a historic district, museums, restaurants, art galleries, and specialty shops. Diverse cultures have blended to make Butte what it is today. Visit an Irish specialty shop or the museum on the history of Asian people in the area.
