The Butte-Silver Bow Public Archives’ Brown Bag Lunch Series welcomes the Archives’ very own Aubrey Jaap and Lindsay Mulcahy to present about the program, Butte: The City that Built a Nation, in celebration of America’s 250th anniversary.
Butte: The City that Built a Nation is a community-wide program exploring the people, places, and events that connect Butte’s history to the broader story of the United States. Aubrey and Lindsay will highlight key moments in Butte’s history and lead a community discussion about the city’s contributions to the nation.
Learn more about Butte’s rich history, from the formation of its first labor union and its rise as one of the world’s greatest mining camps to the hardships and triumphs that shaped the community and the nation.
The Brown Bag presentation will begin at noon on Wednesday, July 22nd, 2026, and will last about an hour. The presentation will be held in the auditorium at the Butte-Silver Bow Public Archives, located at 17 W. Quartz Street. Guests are encouraged to bring a sack lunch. Coffee and water will be provided.
Brown Bag Lunches are held on the second and fourth Wednesdays of every month. Upcoming lectures will focus on topics of local interest. For more information, contact the Archives at (406)782-3280.
