Please please visit here. Any reviews here prior to fall 2018 apply to previous owners who, while seemingly well-intentioned, did have significant issues with some visitors which should not be held against the present ownership. Sure it’s not the most historically pure topic but the new (as of fall 2018) owners are undergoing an ambitious project and deserve and earn all the support they can get. The Dumas is a treasure trove of mining/Western history is highly worth a visit if you are in Butte. This is an absolutely fascinating property with decades of history. With each room and floor of the building, you will be transported to a different time (whether the turn of the 19th century, the 1940s or the 1980s) wondering about what life was like at that time. I joined the tail end of a tour by Charlee with a family with children and I heard how they cater the tour to avoid more “uncomfortable” content. David then took me on an extensive tour giving me so much of his time; both are amazing hosts to this bewildering property. They are both fantastic about creating a welcoming environment and are very giving of their time and the building. I went expecting to spend perhaps 30 minutes to an hour and stayed for three hours and only left because I had a tour at the Mining Museum (also awesome btw). Incidentally, this property is a modern archeological dig waiting to be unearthed. The brothel only actually closed in 1982 but there are obviously decades and decades of content and material waiting to be unearthed here. As I told David and Charlee repeatedly, the right historian or antique dealer could spend an amazing few months here easily. I wish I could be that person for them. So in conclusion, go here. You won’t regret it. As of August 2019, there is much work to be done, but with each weekend the David and Charlee Prince are able to put into it, I’m sure it’s fascinating history will shine more and more.
