Travel Montana

A view from 1939:

RADERSBURG, (4,567 alt., 152 pop.), is an old mining town that to some extent came back. It sprang up in 1866, when John Keating opened the Keating Mine, and boomed the following year, when the East Pacific claim was discovered north of town. The two mines together produced more than $3,000,000 in gold and silver up to 1904, but were worked only intermittently during the following thirty years. Rising prices after 1933 brought a brisk revival of activity.

Radersburg is the birthplace of Myrna Loy, christened Myrna Williams, the movie actress.
