The World Museum of Mining preserves history Butte and heritage of the area. It was founded in 1963 and you can take tours of the mines today.

This is a nice mining museum highlighting the shaft mining methods common in the area in the 19th and early to mid 20th century. There are replicas of the old town, a restored old church, and a great underground shaft mine tour 100 ft below ground in the original Orphan Girl mine you can take (highly recommended, if you have the time). Entrance to the museum is relatively cheap and the guides are helpful and nice. Don't miss the exhibit with the fluorescent minerals under black light.
