Anaconda

Anaconda is part of the Butte-Anaconda Historical park system, which is dedicated to the preservation of important industrial sites and structures. The Old Works golf course, designed by Jack Nicklaus, is laid out on reclaimed lands and ruins of the Upper Works smelter. Across the valley is the giant 585 ft. tall smelter stack, the tallest masonry stack in the world. The stack is all that remains of what was once the world’s largest non-ferrous smelter.

An Interpretive site is located near the old entrance to the smelter. The interpretive site depicts the size of the base and top of the stack. Six interpretive signs provide an overview of Anaconda’s smelting history. The nearby mountains are a rockhounder’s paradise and feature sapphires, garnets and fossils.
