You'd never guess there are 52 apartments in this funky, historic apartment building on West Granite Street in Butte. Even if they're pretty small, the building is full of cool accents and pieces of architectural history.

One of the coolest Butte events is the Montana Folk Festival, July 8th through July 10th, 2022. From the vast folk music to Scandinavian Chip Carving and Ukrainian Easter eggs...if it's interesting and 'folksy', it's happening this weekend in Butte, Montana.

This place is an institution.

Matt's Place in Butte may be closed, but the historic building and perfectly preserved and decorated apartment upstairs are for sale.

Highway driving will not be fun in Montana on Friday in places like Butte, Anaconda, Deer Lodge, Polson, Kalispell, Whitefish, Browning, Heart Butte, Shelby, Choteau and much of northeast Montana. Winds of 40 to 50 MPH will not be uncommon.

It's setting up for a dangerous night on southwest Montana roads with fresh snow on Friday and freezing temperatures on deck for Friday night and Saturday morning.

By Friday night, we could see 6 fresh inches of snow in the higher elevations of several Montana counties.

Montana's history is veined with so much Irish tradition and history. In addition to Butte being called "the most Irish town in America", Montana ranks in the top 10 of states with the highest percentage of Irish heritage (14%).

Have you been here before?

Ugh. We've been plagued by gusty winds all week. It appears that a High Wind Watch will continue for several southwest Montana counties through Saturday night with gusts up to 60 mph.

The history of Montana is a rich one. Both figuratively and literally. With some colorful characters helping shape the history of the state, one of the most influential was Marcus Daly.

A new documentary centers on the man who finished the jump started by Montana's Evel Knievel over 40 years ago.
