      Hello, I was wondering about that. Three times now I have missed it. I want to see inside. I bet there is some interesting stuff in there. Thank you so much for watching.

      Sadly they are going out of business. The shops on Idaho street got hit hard last year do to a very botched waterline project that shut down the street they are on for over 22 weeks.

    Spent all of my teenage years in Dillon. My Father was an engineer for Union Pacific Railroad. Lots of memories from that town.

      Thank you for watching, make sure you take bug spray for the evening mosquitos😂 they are out there in the evenings. Dillon is a great landing spot, most all of our locations we went to are an hour away. We have more Montana videos on the channel.

    2:49 I literally have a picture in front of that fountain from maybe 1995. I lived in the outskirts of Dillon in my childhood and remember we had to drive about 40 minutes into downtown Dillon to shop for groceries and go to school. We still have tapes of when we went into the other historic places around Dillon. So many memories

      Hello, that’s great. Did it have water running out of it then? I thought that fountain was amazing, you don’t see em like that anymore. Thank you so much for watching and the comment and we will see you in the next one.

    Hi - I own The Bookstore in Dillon -- our building was a vaudeville theater known as the Pastime and they sold moonshine out the back door -- it has also been an arcade, office supply store and a western clothing store (just to name a few) But it has been a bookstore for 39 years. Thanks for visiting Dillon

    • @weekendescapades
      @weekendescapades  Рік тому +1

      Hello, the book store looked amazing. Wow that building has some great history. We always get so busy tha we end up in Dillon after everything is closed. Next time we will try and stop in, we sure like Dillon. Thank you so much for the comment and watching and we will see you in the next one.

      Hello, it’s a sleepy town except the Main Street the bars had people for sure. People come from all over to fish the river. So much history around the area that we could have stayed another week. Thank you for watching and we will see you in the next one.

    The Hamilton fountain is more than it appears. In the day, the front, where the flowers are today, was a horse trough. The back side had a people fountain and at the bottom a bowl for dogs and cats.

    I've stayed at the Metlen back in the 60's. I also went to college there, which you don't mention anything about. Back then there were more bars than other businesses
    Really cold in the winter.
