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.
