Marysville, Montana

Once a thriving gold camp, Marysville now a small community with several historic buildings listed on the National Register. There is more to see here than in most ghost towns. The town is not quite deserted, and some mining still goes on, but it's nothing like the rip-roaring period when Irishman Tommy Cruse's Drumlummon Mine poured out an estimated $50 million in gold. Enjoy a unique, one-of-a-kind atmosphere in a historic ghost town while eating dinner next to a cozy fire at the Marysville House. Nearby Great Divide Ski Area on the Continental Divide and offers an amazing 107 trails spread out on three mountain peaks and in three valleys.
