LOCALE: Marysville was established in 1870 and named for the first pioneer woman here, Mary Ralston by Thomas Cruse owner of the famous Drumlummon Mine.  By 1900, the Maryville Mining District was reported to be the richest gold mining area in the world with a production $50,000,000, one-half of which was taken from the Drumlummon Mine.  Marysville’s population at its peak was estimated to be 4000 residents.  They had the service of two railroads and sixty business establishments including two newspapers.

Marysville is situated in the scenic Rocky Mountains and a stone’s throw from the Continental Divide.  Marysville now is a small community of approximately 100 residents.  Several of the building are listed on the National Historic Register and many building still stand from the years when 4,000 people lived here.

Cradled in the foothills of the Montana Rockies, surrounded by pristine wilderness, alive with history and culture, lies Helena, “the heartbeat of Montana.” Helena is the primary hub for the entire state, functioning as both the state capital and the county seat of Lewis and Clark County.  Helena has a population of approximately 30,000 residents. 

Helena is located in-between both Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks.  More information about Glacier Park can be accessed from their web page ate www.nps.gov/glac/home.htm and www.nps.gov/yell// for Yellowstone National Park.

HISTORIC: The evening of July 19, 1805, on the Missouri River, not far north of the present state capital, the hardy members of the Lewis and Clark expedition toiled to move upstream.  Rock embankments made towing from shore impossible, and the deep channel forced the men to row rather than pole their boats forward.  Suddenly, there loomed before them towering rock formations unlike any they had ever seen.  From both sides of the river, limestone cliffs rose to spectacular height of 1200 feet.  ‘In may places’ wrote Meriwether Lewis, “the rocks seem ready to tumble on us.’ At each bend in the waterway, great stonewalls seemed to lock passage, only to open like gentle giant gates as the expedition drew near.  In his journal, Lewis wrote: ‘I shall call this place ‘Gates of the Mountains.’  The name stuck, and for nearly two centuries, travelers have ventured down this stretch of the Missouri to marvel at its natural wonders.  Go to www.gatesofthemountains.com
