Helena, Montana

Just twenty minutes away, Helena has the charm and attributes of a contemporary state capital, a college town, and an historic gold mining town, all rolled into one great city. Helena, Montana was born in July 1864 when four prospectors discovered gold. Helena quickly became a “gold strike boom town” and, by 1870, there were hundreds of businesses in Helena.

The city continues to thrive, as the seat of Montana’s state government, the home of two colleges, and as a regional business and retail center. There are superb medical facilities, a walking mall filled with shops and restaurants, plus the entertainment, shopping, business, and construction services you would expect to find in any major city.

Helena, Montana features historical landmarks like the Myrna Loy Center for performing arts, the 1888 Governor’s Mansion, the Cathedral of St. Helena, and the lovely Victorians of the mansion district.
