Take a free online tour of Butte’s Clark Chateau
There are many things that make Butte stand out from her other Montana sister cities. For example, there are exactly zero others that have standing mine headframes and one of the world's largest open pit mining operations as part of their landscapes. But what really sets Butte apart is the incredible architecture that you'll find in the Uptown area and how incredibly well-preserved and maintained is the historic district. Who can't appreciate the regal stature and beauty of the original W.A. Clark Mansion?
The "Copper King Mansion" has, for years, been a prime attraction for tourists and locals alike offering frequent tours and recently, services as a Bed and Breakfast. It is rich in history and mystery as home of one of Butte's original Copper Kings, William A. Clark. But what if I told you that there is another nearby mansion that may be even more beautiful and perhaps more mysterious? Welcome to the Clark Chateau.
You've probably noticed the familiar surname of "Clark". Yes, it's the same family. The Clark Chateau was built in 1898 as a home for William Clark's oldest son, Charles. It is remarkably well preserved and incredibly beautiful. It is also one of Butte's lesser-known paranormal attractions as a local ghost hunting group will be setting up shop there later this spring.
Whether you're ghost hunting or just want to see a unique part of Butte's history, the Clark Chateau is your place. While there's nothing like checking it out in person, you can take a free online tour of the building right now. Just click here.
