Montana doesn’t have many castles, but what it lacks in quantity it makes up for in quality. In 1892, a magnificent castle structure was built in White Sulphur Springs. The building now serves as a museum, and you’ll definitely want to check it out.
Byron R. Sherman spared no expense when constructing this magnificent mansion.
Sherman enlarged a pond on the property that was fed by a nearby spring. Electricity was carried into town on bare wire strung on pine and spruce poles. For its time, it was quite advanced.

Half a century later, the Meagher County Historical Society restored the structure to much of its Victorian splendor. The castle has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1977.
