Twin Bridges Prepares Tourists Camp for Vigilante Trail
Twin Bridges residents mobilized to create a thriving tourist camping ground along the Beaverhead River. Over 50 volunteers cleaned, filled holes, and smoothed roads while locals donated materials and labor. A new cook shack, soon showers, free firewood, and electric lights enhance the site, with support from the Rod and Gun Club, businesses, and the Orphans' Home band providing morale. Visitors from around the world are invited to use the grounds at no charge.
