    Episode 106 Taxidermist restores historic Montana elk mounts

But there was a healthy population of elk in Yellowstone National Park. In 1912, a herd of elk from Yellowstone were transported to Hamilton. Now mounts believed to be from the original Yellowstone elk are being celebrated at the new fire hall. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Montana's historic courthouses stand as beacons of pride in their communities. They were built across Montana's rustic western landscape, but many borrowed on classic European style architecture. Butte-Silver Bow City- County Courthouse is among Montana's grandest. NBC Montana met Butte- Silver Bow Government Buildings Manager, John Sullivan, at the courthouse to learn more about this handsome building on West Granite Street. John tells us the building was dedicated in 1912. It cost a whopping $750,000, a huge price tag for the time. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Episode 102 Teen 4-H member raises Netherland rabbits as Easter symbols of spring
    2026/04/06
    Few symbols of Easter feel as closely tied to spring as the rabbit, and for 14-year-old Kestin Marmon, that connection is personal. Marmon raises Netherland dwarf rabbits as 4-H projects. The breed is known for its small frame and fluffy fur. Among Marmon’s rabbits are two does that are mother and daughter, along with a buck named Arthur. “This is Arthur and he’s like a symbol of Easter to me, and he’s very fluffy and very sweet and kind,” Marmon said. Marmon said the season represents renewal. “That’s kind of what Easter is to me is a wonderful fresh start of the year,” Marmon said. The rabbits also love to be held, and Marmon brought help to show them off. “This is my older sister Kyra. She’s 16-years-old and this is my friend Eden. My best friend Eden,” Marmon said. Eden held a rabbit named Lilia. “She’s two years old and she’s a very well-built rabbit as well,” Marmon said. Lilia’s daughter is named Bo, Marmon said. “And her name’s Bo.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    We pass them all the time. But if you don't drive a commercial vehicle, you might wonder what happens at one of Montana's weigh stations. They've been part of Montana's highways for well over 70-years. Their purpose is to protect our road system, and most importantly, to keep all drivers safe. NBC Montana recently spent a good part of the day at Montana's newest weigh station, just east of Rocker near Butte. It's also one of the Montana Department of Transportations' busiest stations.
