8 Serene Montana Towns For A Weekend Retreat

"Full of art and history, Anaconda is the perfect weekend destination for those wanting to explore the cultural side of Montana. Once a major copper mining town, Anaconda preserves its heritage at the Copper Village Museum and Art Center. The museum showcases artifacts and photographs from the mining boom, while its art gallery features works by Montana native artists. Alternatively, visitors can dive into the town’s history on a historical bus tour. Departing from the Discover Anaconda Visitor Center, these tours take passengers through the historic district on a 1936 touring bus. In August, the town hosts its signature Smeltermen’s Day event. In celebration of Anaconda’s mining history, this festival includes a parade, art walk, live music, film screenings, and a brewfest. To make their stay even more historic, travelers can lodge at the Hickory House Inn, a charming inn that is housed in a historic, colonial revival-style building.
