Loretta & Scott
Things To Do
Anaconda Dining and Drinking
For sit-down dining we would recommend the following restaurants/bars: Donivan's (general American fare), Barclay II (steak dinner), and The Haufbrau (for pizza) Drinking establishments you may want to check out are: Smelter Citing Brewing (Anaconda Brewery), Club Moderne (Historic Bar), The Harp (Dive Bar and our personal favorite), and Donivan's (again)
Old Works Golf Course
From the website: "A Jack Nicklaus Signature design awaits you at Old Works Golf Course. Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes, the Old Works Golf Course has been reborn on the site of Anaconda's historic century old copper smelter." We are not golfers, but have heard good things.
Take a dip in the hot springs at Fairmont!
Even if you do not want to stay at Fairmont the pool is open to the public until 8:30PM. They offer a poolside bar. Fairmont also has a golf course.
Washoe Theatre
Have fun watching a movie in the last constructed Art Deco movie theater in Montana. Prices are reasonable but the movies are a little delayed. We highly recommend the popcorn!
Philipsburg
This is the small town where Loretta lived during elementary school. While in Philipsburg you should check out the Philipsburg Brewery (http://www.philipsburgbrew.com/) and the UpNSmokin BBQ House (http://upnsmokin.com/). Philipsburg also has the Sapphire Gallery and Sweet Palace (candy store), but be warned that these are not open on Saturdays.
Gem Mountain Sapphire Mine
Take a drive through the Montana countryside and into the mountains to "mine" your own sapphires.
Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site
Silver Bow Drive-In
Chamber of Commerce
Take the Chamber of Commerce Historic Red Bus Tour - Loretta's Parent's house is among the must-see attractions.
