The Meaderville Christmas display was originally put up by the Meaderville Volunteer Fire Department in 1945 and they made new one every year until 1960, when Meaderville was completely consumed by the open pit mine.
While the town is now gone, Butte brought back the Christmas display. The Butte History Club brought back the Meaderville display over 18 years ago with some original parts and some replicated parts, with the help of The Butte Fire Department and Race Track Volunteer Fire Department – the closest department to where the Meaderville display was located.
We hope you get to enjoy the display this year. Our design is a celebration of this special story of Butte’s past and present.
