Marysville – Home of the Drumlummon Mine

Sitting just four miles below the Continental Divide and some 25 miles northwest of Helena, Montana is the once-thriving mining camp of Marysville. The settlement got its start when Irishman Tommy Cruse discovered a rich vein of gold on Silver Creek in 1876. A placer miner who had been working downstream, Tommy continued upstream hoping to find the mother lode, and lo and behold, was the lucky man to find it.

    I used to drive through there on my way to a tower site. All the bare wood up there was orangy colored. The bare wood houses down here in Texas were all gray.... Very interesting place... Take 5 steps and bend over to catch your breath, take 5 steps.....
