The original Canyon Ferry Dam, constructed between 1896 and 1898 by Samuel Hauser’s Missouri River Power Company, supplied 7,500 kilowatts of electricity to Helena and much of central Montana, forming what was known as Lake Sewell.

In 1949, work started on a new dam located a little over a mile downstream, which began producing electricity in December of 1953, though it wasn’t fully completed until June 23, 1954. The original dam was dismantled prior to the new one’s completion, and some of its remains are now submerged under Canyon Ferry Lake.

Constructed in 1900 and first opening its doors in 1907, The Gold Bar has been a hub for locals and visitors for over a century. It was remodeled in 1958, becoming the Capri Lounge, and in 1977, it returned to its original name, the Gold Bar.

Now, alongside the Western Bar and Old Salt Outpost, it blends historic charm with modern appeal, making it a Helena favorite worth visiting.

This simple yet significant structure on Rodney Street played a vital role in the town's early economy. Constructed circa 1880, it first hosted the Rodney Street Market before becoming the Weinstein Grocery Store and Pacific Tea Company in 1890, serving Helena’s community for nearly 70 years.

Today, it is home to the Montana Taverns Association.
