Butte’s Deadliest Night — Remembering the 168 Miners Lost in 1917

15 Upvotes

I wanted to share a short historical tribute I created about one of the darkest nights in Butte’s history.
On June 8, 1917, the Granite Mountain–Speculator Mine disaster claimed the lives of 168 miners.
This video uses AI-generated historical illustrations to help tell the story, rather than authentic archival footage.
It’s a story worth remembering, especially here in Butte.
I hope I did these men and their memory justice.

Sensitive skin issues with the water?

6 Upvotes

My child is a first year student at Tech. They have been noticing a difference in their skin since being on campus, specifically, an unusual amounts of breakouts. This is also observed by other first year student friends. Our water at home (also in Montana) is very hard and mineral heavy. Is this something that other people experience when moving to Butte? Any suggestions I can provide to my student?

The County of BSB Whenever a Local Restaurant is doing well

First La Sirena, now Back 9 closing as they stated directly in the FB status that they were having issues with the county.

Too bad we can't open a banger of a restaurant called "DATA CENTER" cause that would get rubber-stamped lickety-split

2026-09-24 Planning Public Meeting video. Basically, short moratorium on data centers, utterly ludicrous requirements to have a shipping container on your property, and clarifying the historic zone planning process after state legislatures disallowed a volunteer board approving/denying permits.

Somewhere I Can Find An "Alt" Hairstylist

I've been going to the same hairstylist for years and while I adore her, she can never dye my hair how I want it. I've asked for some admittedly out of the ordinary dye jobs over the years, but the way she does it always ends up looking like those early 2000s chunky highlights. You guys know anyone in town who can do that kind of thing for me? (Photos for examples of what I have in mind.)

Things my teen will need in Butte

5 Upvotes

Hi! My son is looking to start trade school in Butte - THIS JANUARY! We live just north of Seattle, where it never gets very cold or snowy. Wondering what I need to make sure he has to live there.

He's got an older, but good running 4x4, with brand new tires (rated great for snow and ice). He'll take chains because you need to carry them to go over the passes here in WA State.

Will he need a block-heater? I have no idea how bad it gets out there.

Thanks in advance!

(oh yes, this is not just car-related - if you can think of ANYTHING else I'd take it)

Butte's zoning rules and Class C trailers?

2 Upvotes

Was looking into moving my post-HUD-tag trailer to land I would actually own, and noticed that Butte apparently put in a rule about a decade ago that restricts Class C (late 1976 to late 1994) trailers massively, requiring them to be only in trailer parks.

What exactly are the options here? Is it possible to just shingle the roof (insulation's been upgraded and all windows are double-pane) and get it considered Class B? Would a lot the trailer's moved to just need tie-downs? Is there a way to get an exception?
I'm not exactly fond of the idea of continuing to rent a lot indefinitely for no reason (the trailer park provides no services, and the owning company is reluctant to do anything even when other residents yell threats while breaking the law, in fact it's a net negative with the bad road conditions).

On the extreme end...is Butte's exclusionary zoning practice on trailers even really legal? It seems utterly spiteful, in a frankly un-American way, to say that if you have a specific kind of home that was built with poor insulation that it has to be kept on land you don't own. I know the state legislature passed some zoning reforms recently to stop cities from zoning out almost all new development, but I'm not sure they covered this.

Seeking input on Special Education program through school district

7 Upvotes

My husband has a job opportunity in Butte. We are considering a move from Billings. We have 4 year old twins who receive speech and OT here, and attend the special education preschool here. I’m having a hard time finding feedback on the quality of services available in Butte. Any input/direct feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I’d be looking for providers that are play based and specialize in sensory regulation/support.

Bonus points if you have any info about how long the waitlists are… we spent close to a year waiting for an OT spot here. Breaks my heart a little to think about uprooting that again.

REALLY looking for feedback about the schools.

Thanks all.
