Silent Silver Bow tavern recalls early Montana days
In from Silver Bow that no effort had been made to fight the fire. To the automobilist in late years the tavern has appeared as a deserted and as dated structure. At most half a century ago it was one of the most pleasant spots in the territory, and under its roof the prominent men of the western country, as well as men held in less regard in territorial days, found shelter. It hosted the wedding by an Episcopalian priest and was a stage stop on routes to Virginia City and Deer Lodge. One longtime trader recalled it as a hospitable home where many in early Montana history gathered for meetings and socializing.
