Helena Urban Renewal Exhibit
On Display Through 2013
Lewis & Clark County History Center, 101 N. Last Chance Gulch

CLICK ON IMAGE TO OPEN EXHIBIT MAP (PDF FILE)

The Lewis & Clark County Historical Society has mounted a new exhibit on the history of Helena’s still-controversial 1970s Model City program. Called “REMEMBERING URBAN RENEWAL”, the exhibit includes input from those who ran the program, as well as images and physical artifacts from the grand Victorian and Edwardian buildings that fell to the federal wrecking ball. The destruction of the beloved Marlow Theatre is spotlighted.

Exhibit hours are noon to 5 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays; volunteers are being sought and to staff it additional hours, including evenings. Call 406-447-8357 or email PAttardo (at) co.lewis-clark.mt.us to volunteer.

If You Have Images of Helena to Share,
Simply Contact Me Via E-mail !

Please try to include the word "HELENA" in the subject line of your first email, so it won't be mistaken for spam and accidentally deleted.

Usually, images are scanned and e-mailed to me by contributors. Contributors will occasionally mail CDs with photos on them. When those methods aren't practical, the actual photos or other materials are sent to me via U. S. Mail. I scan the material and return it, paying for insured postage both ways. I can scan photographs, slides and negatives.

I will credit your contributions (if you so desire), and will also add your personal recollections to the material you send. I can't offer monetary compensation for images sent in, but website and/or email links may be added to your contributions and to your name on the home page Roster.

The emphasis is on old photographs and other images of businesses, schools, churches, neighborhoods, streets, events and other subjects of GENERAL INTEREST. I'm also interested in old Helena advertising and promotional ephemera.

A Library, Not an Archive

This is a living library, not an archive, so please be advised that your images will be in the PUBLIC DOMAIN when they're published here, which means they'll be up for grabs by anyone who wants to use them. My outlook is that it's better for people to see, use and learn from such pictures than it is to let them languish in drawers or old albums. In that spirit, I've included many of my own photographs in the site, along with numerous postcards, etc., from my collection. I acquire Helena-related images and ephemera for my own collection as my budget allows.

This website is a ONE-MAN OPERATION, but I endeavor to add all material sent to me in a timely manner. Occasionally, I will hold material until I can expand the story using online newspaper archives and other resources. I stay in contact with contributors.

ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHS OF PEOPLE
	Your Great Grandmother Viola was no doubt a beautiful person, but please limit submissions of photos featuring people to those which show them in a broader HELENA-RELATED CONTEXT. No studio portraits. Please avoid snapshots of people which show little or nothing of the city. "GENERAL INTEREST" is what to keep in mind when selecting your submissions. THANKS!

This Site is Hosted by an Actual Helena Native!

Kennon Baird • Editor and Publisher

Kennon Baird's pioneer Great Grandfather, Wallace Millegan, began ranching in the Helena Valley in 1865, coming by way of Bannack and Blackfoot City. The Millegan homestead was the first in the Helena Valley, and 13th in the Territory of Montana.

Ken was born in 1950, at the old St. Peter's Hospital on Logan Street. He lived in Helena until 1972, attending Kessler School, C. R. Anderson School, Helena Junior High, and Helena High School. Ken spent many years working in Houston, Texas, where he also studied design at the University of Houston. In 1998, Ken moved to the San Francisco Bay Area with wife Kathleen, who is a business systems analyst for a biotech company.

Ken enjoys art, history, writing, music and gardening. He's a member of the Sons and Daughters of Montana Pioneers and the Montana Historical Society. Ken's home website is Lifelike Charm.

"Into my heart an air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?

That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again."

- Alfred Edward Housman, A Shropshire Lad
