Finally getting around to a few more pictures. It was so great to finally visit Helena. Off and on through the years I always thought it would be nice to see it. Thanks to Debbie I got the opportunity. I did not realize until we got to Helena that Helena is on the National register for Historic places.
It was so wonderful that I could walk on the street by the house where I lived and see the place where my father had his shoe shop. He was a shoemaker and made shoes and boots for the governor and many people in the government offices. He also made boots for the Gary Cooper family. The shoe shop is within walking distance of the Capitol building. Also the shop was within walking distance from where our house was. I can imagine that my mother took my sister and I there sometimes, maybe bringing him a lunch or something.
The old Governor's mansion is so impressive. I just love looking at old buildings. We took the trolley and saw more of Helena and some other very nice mansions. We also went to the Museum where you catch the trolley. It is a small museum but has so much history. Tomorrow I will put on some pictures of the Madison Valley and Virginia City, Montana. That should do it for my trip. Debbie says I need to think of where I want to go on my next trip. I actually haven't a clue to what I want to see. Any ideas?

Trolley leaves several times a day
We had gone to the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman. It is a large museum and has a large display of Dinosaur fossils and other interesting things about Montana. Actually I was much more impressed with the small museum in Helena. |
