HELENA FIRE TOWER
On the hill near the corner of Cruse Ave & Broadway St helenamt.gov/Parks/Fire- Tower-Park
Nicknamed the “Guardian of the Gulch,” this is one of the nation’s few remaining wooden fire towers. Originally constructed in 1869, repeat fires in 1872 and 1874 led to rebuilding the tower to the third version, which still stands.
