Register for Festival of Trees – Now at the Daly Mansion! @ Daly Mansion
Sep 28 @ 10:00 am – Dec 1 @ 10:00 am

The Bitterroot Health Foundation has graciously passed the torch of the Festival of Trees to the Daly Mansion! While a few changes are ahead—including a new location—the heart of the event remains the same: bringing our community together to celebrate the season and raise vital funds for local nonprofits.

Mark your calendars for the 2025 Festival of Trees, November 29 – December 1, 2025!

Tree registration opens Tuesday, September 3, 2025. We will be sending registration packets to last year’s participating nonprofits, and details will also be shared on social media and through direct email marketing. Space is limited to just 25 trees, so we encourage you to register early to secure your spot.

  • Registration Fee: $100 per tree
  • Registration Opens: Tuesday, September 3, 2025

We can’t wait to see your creativity shine once again. Start planning your show-stopping tree now, and be ready to register on September 3 – call or email courtney.hartelius@dalymansion.org

Support Daly Mansion: Restore History and Water Lines!

Discover the past while shaping the future at the Daly Mansion. Our century-old water line, crucial to the mansion’s operations, urgently needs replacing. We’ve secured a significant part of the funding through a $100,000 Montana Historical Preservation Grant, but your support is crucial.
 
Help us raise $20,000 to match this grant, ensuring not only a renewed water supply but also the continued restoration of the mansion’s historic third floor. Every contribution makes a difference. Donate today and become a part of this vital preservation effort.
Act today and be a cornerstone in conserving our heritage!

Temporary Closure

The Mansion and Grounds will be closed temporarily from October 14 through October 23.
