The Service Member Appreciation Exhibit, set to open in 2025 at the World Museum of Mining, will honor the brave men and women who have served in the armed forces while highlighting the significant impact of Butte, MT on military efforts throughout history. Through mining, industry, and unwavering community support, Butte played a crucial role in supplying resources, materials, and manpower that contributed to national defense. This exhibit will showcase the sacrifices and contributions of service members alongside the city’s legacy of resilience and patriotism.

We extend our deepest gratitude to Paul M. Aguilar and family, Palmer Penny, and Trademark Elite Electric for their generous support in bringing this project to life. Their commitment to preserving and celebrating the legacy of our service members ensures that their stories—and Butte’s influence in military history—will be remembered and honored for generations to come. This exhibit stands as a testament to the strength, dedication, and unwavering spirit of those who have served.

It’s going to be a powerful tribute to both service members and Butte’s rich historical role.
