    Tips

    February 5, 2024

    These ruins near Helena are a beautiful testament to the area's rich industrial history. Despite appearing like mining smelters, these kilns produced quicklime from the local limestone before the 20th century. They have been designated as meaningful cultural heritage sites and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The city's impressive historic architecture owes much to the early lime industry, and although the kilns may seem sturdy, they are very fragile, so do not climb on or inside them. However, you can always take a moment to appreciate the ruins and capture some great photos.
