December 4, 2024 - The Butte-Silver Bow Public Archives’ Brown Bag Lunch Series welcomes Jim Michelotti on Wednesday, December 11th, 2024, to present the Meaderville Volunteer Fire Department’s Christmas Displays through time.
The Meaderville Volunteer Fire Department began building its Christmas displays in 1945 as a holiday greeting to lift the community’s spirits following World War II. The displays were made up to 1960. In 2003, the Montana History Club recreated a display at the Anselmo Mine. The club has installed one yearly since moving to the Race Track Fire Hall in 2006.
Please join us to learn more about these wonderful displays. Remember to bring your holiday cheer!
The Brown Bag presentation begins at noon and will last about an hour. The presentation will be in the auditorium at the Butte-Silver Bow Public Archives at 17 W. Quartz Street. Guests are encouraged to bring a sack lunch. Coffee and water will be provided.
Brown Bag Lunches are held on the second and fourth Wednesdays of every month. Upcoming lectures will focus on topics of local interest. Contact the Archives at (406)782-3280 for more information.
