The board of Butte Historical Memorials wishes everyone a safe New Years Eve and a wonderful 2023!
December 13th is the National Day of the Horse and we would like to tell you the story of “Jim, the extraordinary fire horse.”
The day was beautiful but a bit windy. Look closely at the top of the pole, we have added a solar light which is styled like lights from the 1890’s era. Fireman Ross Boggs put the wreath on the pole for us, we sure appreciated his assistance.
Three years ago today our first sculpture piece, JIM, THE HORSE was delivered to Fire station #1 on the corner of Mercury and Idaho. It was such an exciting day. Now three years have flown by and Jim is no longer alone at the fire station. We would like to thank everyone for their support […]
This fine organization of proud first responders was one of the first donors to believe in our goal of having a sculpture to honor the lives lost from the “Butte Warehouse Explosion of 1895.”
Butte Historical Memorials (BHM) is a local organization dedicated to interpreting and honoring Butte’s rich history through memorials, sculptures, and events. The group created a life sized statue honoring the 58 victims, including thirteen firemen, a policeman, and forty-four rescuers and bystanders that died on January 15, 1895 in this “Great Butte explosion.” They were lost to history for 125 years but will not be forgotten.
