Meyers Creek Work Center, Listed!
Meyers Creek Work Center sits near the northern edge of the Beartooth plateau in a mining, grazing, and recreation area. The ranger district headquarters represent USDA Forest Service management policies and the aesthetics that guided the agency’s improvements program.
Hillcrest Cemetery, Listed!
Hillcrest Cemetery provides a birds’ eye perspective of Deer Lodge’s growth from a pioneer community to a one that continues to contribute to the vitality of the state. Early burial practices are illustrated in the cemetery’s simple layout with a central crossroad, natural setting high atop a hill, remnant wooden markers, modest obelisk monuments, and upright imported marble tombstones. As the community stabilized and grew, zinc and locally produced gravestones followed.
Driver’s Saloon and Café, Listed!
Driver’s Saloon and Café represents a significant residential and commercial property associated with the history of Black Montana. Lee Pleasant Driver, a Fisk graduate and 25th Infantry veteran, operated a saloon and eatery from the street-level of the Starr Block—an 1889 brick two-story commercial building prominently situated near the intersection of Main St. and Commercial Avenue. He and his wife Pearl Payne Driver, and their toddler son Lee Jr. from around 1909 to 1915, lived above the café.
