Visitor & Driver Tips

When heading to 131 S Wyoming St, input the exact street coordinates or address into your navigation app to ensure an approach along South Wyoming Street from either Galena or Mercury. During major event weekends, such as the Montana Folk Festival in July or St. Patrick's Day in March, Uptown streets experience designated event closures and significantly higher foot traffic; plan to arrive well in advance to claim a space. In the winter months, be mindful of snow accumulation and ice, keeping an eye out for municipal snow plow schedules along Uptown streets. Always ensure your vehicle is locked with valuables safely concealed out of view to enjoy your visit to historic Butte worry-free.
