This year a new Butte tree ornament is available to commemorate the Copper Star on display in the BSB Courthouse. The ornament is available to help decorate holiday trees and they are available for $10 each from Mainstreet Uptown Butte.
The ornament is inspired by the Copper Star that was fabricated for Montana Resources and graced the top of the Capitol Christmas Tree in Washington, DC in 2017.
The star, now on display inside the entryway of the BSB Courthouse, has eight points and features Montana's state flower, the Bitterroot, on the front and back — a three-dimensional copper piece is attached at the center.
A second holiday ornament commemorates 20 years of the Lighten Up project to illuminate the headframes on Butte Hill. It features one of Butte’s storied headframes traced in red lights.
Both ornaments make excellent gifts for friends and family looking for a touch of Uptown Butte for their holidays celebrated near or far from the Mining City.
To order these new ornaments for your tree, send a check or money order for $10 each to Mainstreet Uptown Butte, P.O. Box 696, Butte, MT 59703. For more information, send an email to Mainstreet Uptown Butte at
Any proceeds from the sale of both ornaments will support the charitable projects of Mainstreet Uptown Butte, a non-profit working to benefit Uptown Butte. For details, visit www.mainstreetbutte.org, or on Facebook at uptownbutte.
