Headed to Deer Lodge for Thanksgiving. On the 10 best list. How long should I plan in order to see the whole collection? Thanks

PC/SR · 10-14-2012, 01:02 PM

1-2 hours

If you are a golfer, "OLD WORKS" course in Anaconda is a unique experience.
It's the Anaconda Copper Smelter Superfund site that Jack Nicklaus turned into a links golf course. State owned, not expensive, and wonderful.

I would probably opt for 3-4 hours since there is a lot more than just cars to see. The whole prison complex, frontier museum, toy museum, and a few others within a couple blocks of the prison. One admission price gets you into them all. Its deffinitly worth checking out!

Museum: 3 to 4 hours

Golf: 4 hours

Experiences: Priceless (both are very cheap actually)

Do they play with RED balls in the snow like the Scots?

Red?... I was assuming in the snow and cold of Anaconda, they would be *BLUE*, but that just reminds me of more off-color golf jokes (hahaha)

Also the Mining Museum in Butte is a good place to visit as well, and there used to be an old pawnshop in the hill years ago that had around 200+ old jukeboxes.. Not sure if they are still there though.. it has been a while since i have visited back there..

Not red, but the sand traps are Black! Made of pulverized slag.
