@alliestyx: Back in May, my cousin and I visited the Dumas Brothel in Butte, Montana, widely described as America’s longest-running brothel and most haunted. I went because touring an abandoned historic brothel sounded fascinating. But I left wondering how Butte, Montana doesn’t have approximately 47 bestselling historical novels written about it. The ghosts may or may not be real. The history is somehow even stranger than anything paranormal. #nicheplacestovisit #ButteMontana #DumasBrothel #WeirdHistory #HiddenHistory
There is a reason brothels like this aren't talked about. Patriarchy. I LOVE telling people about how many Madams actually invested in towns they lived in. Funding education and so much more. Love this video.

Totally asking my 85yo dad who grew up in Butte if he bought lunch at the Dumas… will not be surprised if the answer is “yes”…

Uptown Butte has always felt cold to me. I don't think I am sensitive to spirits/ghosts, but it's the same feeling I experienced in New Orleans.

it's absolutely dehumanizing to think about performing a sexual act for less because you're in a less comfortable, less hygienic space doing it.

My great grandparents were part of the Italian immigrant community in Butte! The neighborhood was called Meaderville (actually a separate city) and my great grandpa was the sheriff/town barber. Lol

Growing up in butte, in high school I was part of MT history club and I spent quite a bit of time at the dumas learning about the history and participating in ghost hunts and it’s something I’ll never get tired of hearing about. I even spent a couple nights at the cabbage patch we did it once a year to get an idea of how many mining families lived. They took our phones/wallet/keys and we were issued cardboard and tarps and for dinner we walked to the rescue mission to have dinner and it really gave us that perspective which was really cool! I’m glad you enjoyed your trip here thanks for sharing! 🫶🏻
