Butte/Anaconda MT & Fairmont Golf

Historic mine shaft at the edge of old town Butte, Mt.  Butte in the late 1800's and early 1900's was a notorious copper boomtown...home to many saloons and a famous red light district.

Our home for a couple nights near Fairmont Hot Springs Resort in Anaconda, MT. has it all...hotel, RV park, hot springs, water park and of course, Golf! The hot springs were originally developed by the Gregson Brothers, who acquired the land in 1869 and the area has a rich and colorful history linked to the growth of Butte and the copper mines.

Hi, TEd and Jan. We met you awhile back when you were working in MIchigan at the golf course. We are in Coram, MT came in just after you left, and we think you stayed in spot 18 while you were there? That's our spot now. If you are in the Hungry Horse area, we'd love to meet up with you for dinner. We leave Wed for Yellowstone. Let us know!
