Planning Your Visit
Anaconda's Smelter Stack — 585 feet tall — dominates the skyline as a state park. The Washoe Theater (1936 Art Deco masterpiece), the Deer Lodge Federal Penitentiary's museum in the neighboring county, and the Georgetown Lake recreation area define the county's diverse attractions.
A Closer Look
The Deer Lodge County Fair in Anaconda celebrates a southwestern Montana county whose massive Anaconda Copper Smelter Stack — the tallest freestanding brick structure in the world — stands as a monument to the mining era that made Anaconda and Butte the copper capitals of America, and where the Warm Springs Creek valley's agricultural communities continue a quiet farming heritage alongside the county's industrial legacy. The area's broader history includes notable events and landmarks dating to 1936.
Fair Highlights
Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and the community spirit of a southwestern Montana fair in the shadow of the world's largest brick smokestack.
