Fall Photography Montana
Daly Mansion, Hamilton Montana

I was out last night checking on some of the fall colors where we live and decided to see how things were progressing with the trees around the Daly Mansion in Hamilton, Montana. The Daly Mansion is the historic home of 19th century industrialist, Marcus Daly, and located in Montana’s Bitterroot Valley. Daly made his fortune in copper back in the late 1800’s, built the town of Anaconda, and settled here in the valley. The Mansion is an amazing glimpse back into Montana’s past here and worth visiting. This time of year the grounds can be spectacular to photograph as well with all of the fall colors emerging around the main road.

I was in Hamilton over Labor Day and paid a visit to the Daly Mansion near town. This is an interesting place to check out as it was once the summer home of “Copper King” Marcus Daly who made his fortune in the mines of Butte and his lumber industry in the Bitterroot. He also owned the smelter in Anaconda and put a lot this part of Montana on the map.

The Mansion is just over 24,000 square feet with 24 bedrooms,14 baths, and 7 fireplaces. It sits on about 50 acres which is owned by the state and managed by the Daly Mansion Preservation Society.

If you’re in Hamilton, it’s definitely worth the visit.
