Vintage Safe Exhibit

More than a vault, this 1880s Hall’s Safe is a storyteller. From its early days in Livingston and Butte to decades inside the Bonner mill, its return in 2025 reflects a community committed to preserving its past. The exhibit highlights the safe’s remarkable journey—and the pride, work, and local history it represents. The safe and interpretation is on display at the KettleHouse Brewing Co. taproom in Bonner, MT.
