Want to experience Montana’s rich mining history? Why not visit Marysville ghost town. Tucked away at the foot of Mount Belmont, just 25 miles west of Helena, Marysville was once Montana’s leading gold producer.

Thomas Cruse established Marysville in 1876 with the discovery of gold in the area. This discovery also saw the development of Thomas’ historic mine, the Drumlummon Mine.

Thomas was just but a poor immigrant from Ireland until he discovered the Drumlummon lode.
