We got a great lesson in American history, too, by visiting the Daly Mansion. Marcus Daly (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Daly) was the "copper king" back at the turn of the last century, and in 1910 he built a summer home in western Montana. The house has more than 25 bedrooms and all of the latest technology of that time. Invitations were sent out in January for friends to join for specific dates over the summer, and you didn't want to get the attic rooms because they were the hottest ones! (AC was not one of the latest technologies back then.) The grounds were beautiful too, with a pool and tennis courts.. big trees and gardens. What a lovely place!
