It summer time again and for many of us that means vacations or long weekends to travel. For those of you who have never spent any time in Helena Montana, you are missing a great historical destination. If your visit falls on any day but Sunday, be sure to check out the Last Chance Tour Train. It departs from in front of the Montana Historical Society Museum for one hour tours that provide an overview of the city. If you only have a few hours to spend in Helena, the time would be well spent at the Museum and a ride on the Tour Train. If you are lucky enough to be spending a day or two, the tour will give you an idea of where you might want to spend more time exploring. The "engineer" also serves as the the tour guide and every time we have taken the tour, the guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining.
For more information about the Last Chance Tour Train and other tour information I suggest visiting their website for tour details, schedules and contact information.
For visitors with disabilities, the museum is handicapped accessible but the tour train is less so. My husband Frank was able to board the train with his walker and a little help, but special arrangements would be necessary for anyone with mobility issues.
History from my favorite western vacation destination. Seems like a good combination...:)
