The Guardian of the Gulch

This historic landmark Fire Tower, located downtown, was originally built in 1874. It gave watchmen a 360-degree view of Helena. The bell which once hung in the tower used to warn of fire, but also signaled an 8:30 pm children's curfew. Today, it reminds us of Helena's frontier history.
