ENGINE 25 RESTORATION PROJECT GRAND ANNOUNCEMENT
BUTTE, MT April 16th, 2025 –The Engine 25 Restoration Group was founded in 2023 with a small group of Butte residents, and they are now full speed ahead toward the goal of restoring this Butte icon. Engine No. 25 was saved by the Butte Jaycees and presented to the children of Butte on July 3rd, 1958.
The group will have a grand announcement on May 8th at 4p.m. in the lobby of the Butte Civic Center. They will have group members and volunteers there throughout the May Fair weekend. Join them for raffle tickets and information about the history and project of Engine 25. Join their drive to restore this piece of Butte history. There is a replacement bell that was purchased to replace the original, which was stolen after the steam engine was moved to its current location at the Butte Civic Center. The replacement bell is now on display in the lobby of the civic center.
