This is an outdoor museum so dress for the weather. If you want to take the under ground tour be sure you are wearing closed toed shoes. (Crocs not included, I don't know why) They also have above ground tours. Part of the property is set up like a western town. Something that would grow up around a mine. Post office, apothecary, carpenter, blacksmith, etc, etc. All these buildings are set up with window displays but most are not open to the public. You just peer thru the windows. There is a memorial garden to miners. A mine yard with pieces of heavy equipment. The motorized lift, miners locker room, light room, information and equipment used in dry and wet boring, 3D representations of mines and more with information posted on the displays. You can walk up into the mine head if you are so inclined to see how the ore chutes operated. We spent about two hours here without realizing it. Very interesting museum. Staff are very personable, answered questions and suggested reading material for more on the subject. Very good, family friendly stop.

We spotted wolves, deer, elk, sheep, mountain goats, pronghorn and so many bison.

It's these small acts that show that he really cares about the park and wildlife that call it home.

After having saved for over 5 years, reviewing the reviews, hunt was booked. Communication was…read morefair prior to hunt with no notification of where to meet. Camp was good, cook and food was great. Not much communication from Phillip and all decisions of where, when to hunt were made by Phillip. Guide was good, but appeared to be limited by orders from Phillip as morning hunts were from before sunrise and ended no later than 11:00 am, evening hunts were from 2:15 pm to sunset. Saw several groups of elk almost daily. Guide appeared to be more content driving gator around with some walking/hiking to try to locate elk. A large hurd was located on the second full day of the hunt in the evening on another ranch not leased by LWGS. Phillip was notified of the large hurd that was located while glassing by not only the Guide but also myself. Finally on the fourth full day of the hunt the entire hurd was located on the leased property, at guide was instructed to leave the hurd and take us to another part of the property, words relayed to us were "going to leave them so we dont blow them out off of the property." Phillip, who was with a hunter who has hunted with LWGS multiple times, paid for his son this trip, ended up with the son taking a bull that was in the area. Father/son were nice people and father had been on several trips with LWGS including a bow hunt this year and an out of country hunt. Tuesday morning another hunter harvested a bull on a different part of the lease. Both were nice guys, very personable, the second hunter also knows Phillip quite well and had been to MT with LWGS multiple times this year to include a personal trip arranged for Phillip and his wife in MT. Phillip advised, as the web site states, 5 hunters, we started off with 6 one had to leave for a problem back home. It was clear that two of the hunters had been using LWGS for years, had been on multiple hunts with Phillip/Josh, hunting assignments were discussed privately or quietly regarding where each guide was to take the hunters. When we asked if we could stay in the field all day to increase our chances, we were told no. On Wednesday morning I stayed with my guide and my relative went with Josh and the last remaining client went with Phillip. We went to a location we had been to multiple times over the last few days. After glassing for a while, I located one hurd to the SW, which I had also located two days prior. I also located another hurd to the NW. My guide said he didn't see anything, I pointed out the two hurds closest one was approximately 15 elk two 6x6, 3 rag horn, 3 spikes and some cows. My guide advised Phillip of the hurd and they were headed towards a location on the LWGS and that we were going to head that direction. While in the gator we came around a corner and I observed them alert to the noise of the gator and seeing it but also observing it from approx.1200 yards. My guide asked me if I was up for a hike to try to cut them off, and I advised definitely. My guide called Phillip, I believe, then I was advised we were headed to another location no where near where the elk were moving in. It became apparent that there was to be no elk harvested at that time and that my guide was not only having to check in, couldn't make direct decisions and was being instructed on what/where to go and do. What was to be most likely a once in a lifetime hunt for a chance to harvest at least a rag horn or larger, had turned out to be a hunt that appeared to specifically cater to wealthy friends. Having hunted elk and deer for the last 41 years and harvesting many. Knowing there are no guarantees with hunting is one thing, however, limiting the actions of the guide as to where to go and what to do sure gave the appearance for the desired outcome, this coupled with the definite commerodery with friends who have returned and plan to return time and time again, gave the appearance and effect of our one time deal being insignificant. I was charged the "out of state" $ 50 fee when I have been a resident of MT for 34 years and LWSG was advised of. It was not only the control of our guide, but also the overall manner/secrecy and blatant difference in how the wealthy "regulars" were taken care of compared to the one timers. It could have been that I was honest about my career, my son's employment, which sparked a conversation. One thing is for certain, there was a definite difference in how we were handled and how the friends were handled. Really a disappointing experience on several levels. But there was a consolation prize, a deer call made by Phillips newly acquired company, thus the trip was not a total loss as we got a $9k deer call.

So we took a chance and headed over first thing in the morning. They said we could bring our dog along so we bought tickets for the first tour. I'm so glad we did! The tour was great and the open air bus kept things cool with a breeze even in warm temperatures. The engineer was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and I'm honestly shocked at how much I learned about the history of this town. The kids who had him as their 8th grade history teacher were lucky, indeed.I feel like we got to see it all wrapped up in a neat little bow of a 1 hour tour. The price was incredibly reasonable and if you need to use the restroom before or after your tour you can just walk across the street to the Capitol building. They also offered snacks, drinks and souvenirs for purchase. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting the city. I think even long-time residents would find this a fun, interesting and educational activity.

This is located right across the Montana State Capitol building. The museum entrance fees are as followed: - $5 (adult) - $1 (children) - $12 (family: 2 adults and immediate children under 19) - free (members) Once you pay your fees you get a sticker and a receipt which you can actually use as admission for two days. You can go in and out during the day as well if you just keep your receipt. There are a good amount of exhibits here, including one about the history of children toys, history of bison and other wildlife in the area, the daily lives of Native Americans, and the journey of Lewis and Clark through Montana. Some of my favorites were reading and seeing clothing, weapons, tipis, and other artifacts that Native Americans used to live, trade, and hunt. You can actually go into a replica of a tipi and sit on one of the chairs like how they would. I also learned about the history of their interactions with Lewis and Clark as they made their way through Montana, including wars that broke out between them and resulted in whites taking over their land and pushing them out. There were also some exhibits about the different tribes in the state and where they lived then and now. This museum was very informative and is exactly what I am looking for when I want to learn about the history of wherever I'm visiting, especially for a small entrance fee. If you're in Helena and looking to learn more about the area I recommend coming here!
