Summary
Dillon, Montana has served some important purposes in its time. This was the terminus for the Utah and Northern Railway and was the supply and shipping hub for the Beaverhead Valley, meaning it supplied most of the mining in the area. Eventually this would be the wool capital of America. The Hotel Metlen was built here and it still stands today in the town's historic district. There are several ghosts that reside within the hotel and not all of them are friendly. Join us for the history and hauntings of Hotel Metlen! The Moment in Oddity features the White Baneberry.
