Blanche and Lucy decided to take a tour of the little town of Deer Lodge where we are camping while viewing Yellowstone - the thing we noticed first was that this town had the most lilac bushes that we seen anywhere... they were every where we turned.
The Old Montana State Prison Museum was one of the most interesting sites to visit in Deer Lodge.
This was the original jail - but now housed a antique car museum.
We visited the old railroad site here in town.
Deer Lodge is know for their Draft Horse Expo and festivals. It was a cute little town and we so enjoyed walking it together.
We did a very interesting walking tour of downtown Deer lodge - this used to be the city courthouse.
When we saw the 'Vineyard' sign at the bottom of one of the streets, we thought we were going to find a little wine tasting location - Wrong! It was a church! what a name for a church..... good way to get people in though.... it got us.
On our walking tour of downtown Deer Lodge we found Louie's Montana Beef Pasties shop - though it misspelled Luey's name we just had to....
At the bottom of Main Street we found an entire original homestead. All the buildings in this little homestead village were transported from the area to this one place for visitors to view.
This Carriage House was from a mail order Sears kit! and it now sits in the center of Deer Lodge's little town park where we stopped for lunch.
The evening before we left Deer Lodge Luey & Lucy chased each other in the meadow behind our RVs .....
We said goodbye to Deer Lodge, Montana and packed up to head for our next stop.
On the road again and off we go to Glacier Park in upper Montana on the Canadian border.
