Havre Historic Tours and More

10/13/2026

OK if Meteorologist Ryan Dennis forecast holds, I will resume tours on FRIDAY. Since so many have asked, my The Great American Melting Pot tour of Mount Hope Cemetery will be daily at 4 p.m., weather permitting.

Please let me know if you are interested in the tour by calling me at 406-399-5225 no later than 2 p.m. If that time doesn't work for you, give me a call and let's see what we can do to coordinate our schedules!

Cost for the tour will be $20 per adult, $15 per child 6-12 and kids 5 and under are free with accompanying adult. Terms are US cash only. Parents and guardians are cautioned on bringing young children on this tour due to the subject matter covered. Allow for an hour and a half for this tour. Those taking the tour must be able to stand for that period of time and walk over uneven ground. There are no restroom facilities onsite, so please plan ahead. Wear sensible shoes and clothing. We will meet at Mount Hope west of Havre on old US Highway 2.

I hope to see you on the tour!

When i left work shortly after 7 a.m., it was just starting to snow in Havre. It doesn't look like we will be getting anywhere near what the central part of Montana is getting!

As of 6 AM, Sunday, October 11th the NWS in Great Falls has measured 8.2" of snowfall. Snowfall amounts will vary drastically from elevation to elevation over short distances, in addition from grassy/elevated surfaces to roadways/sidewalks (which have the ability to hold more heat). If you plan to travel this morning be prepared for changing road conditions.

Our friend, Meterologist Erik Johnson, shared this earlier today. Not a good day for tours. But a great day to read or watch your favorite shows!!

Take care, all

Due to strong winds, Friday's The Great American Melting Pot tour of Mount Hope is cancelled. All tours will resume when the temperature warms and the weather cooperates.

Here's Meteorologist Ryan Dennis forecast for the week.

I'm going out tomorrow afternoon to get some more autumn pictures, but since it may be a while before I can do tours, The Great American Melting Pot tour of Mount Hope Cemetery will be offered WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AT 5 P.M., weather permitting. You will need to contact me no later than 3 p.m. each day to let me know you want to go on the tour. My number is 406-399-5225.

Cost is $20 for each adult, $15 for children 6-12 and kids 5 and under are free with accompanying adult. Terms are US cash only. Parents and guardians are urged caution in bringing young children on a Cemetery tour due to the subject matter.

Wear sensible clothing and shoes. Participants must be able to stand up to an hour and a half and walk over uneven ground. There are no restrooms on site, so plan accordingly.

Well, there go my tours! Looks like later this week, they may end due to snow. I will share Ryan's forecasts as the week progresses.

LOWER ELEVATION SNOW NEXT WEEKEND (10/10/26-10/11/26)? ☃️

It’s still a week out, so a lot can and will change. However, there is increasing confidence in a significant cool-down next weekend (highs back in the 30s and 40s on Sunday), along with the potential for widespread snow in the lower elevations.

We’ll keep you updated on the cool-down and potential snow as the week goes on. There are still a lot of variables in play, including how much moisture is available, how cold temperatures get, and how quickly the cool-down occurs. All of these factors will determine how much precipitation falls as snow.

For now, just know that accumulating snow is possible in the lower elevations next weekend, specifically in the Saturday night through Monday morning timeframe.

Remember, if you want to go on today's Great American Melting Pot tour of Mount Hope Cemetery, please call me no later than 11:00a.m. today!! My number is 406-399-5225.

If I do not receive any calls, I will NOT be at the site.

My first tour of Mount Hope Cemetery, The Great American Melting Pot, was well received! As promised, this tour will be offered through October.

The tour will take place each Sunday at noon (October 4, 11, 18 and 25). Please wear sensible shoes and clothing as the ground is very, very uneven. Lots of gopher holes, etc. Allow up to an hour and a half for this tour.

Cost is $20 per adult, $15 for kids 6-12 and children 5 and under are free with accompanying adult. Terms are US cash only. Parents and guardians are cautioned in allowing young children on a cemetery tour due to the subject matter involved.

Please let me know that you want to go on the tour by calling me at 406-399-5225 no later than 11:00 a.m. prior to the tour. If no one is interested, I will not go to the site. With the cost of fuel these days, I can't justify driving all the way out there, waiting for people who are not going to show up.

Does this time not work for you? Please give me a call! If there is any way we can coordinate schedules for The Great American Melting Pot tour, or any of my tours, let's work together to make it happen! The only exception are my History Among the Headstones tours of Calvary and Highland Cemeteries-these tours are not available weekdays or Saturdays from 8-5, to avoid any services that may be taking place. Otherwise, let's talk!

I received a rather terse voicemail message this morning from someone who said she was receiving texts about my Mount Hope tours. I called her back, because I have no idea what she's talking about. She thought it may have to do with Facebook, and I have no control over Facebook's algorithms.

I still have no idea how she's receiving texts or notifications from Havre Historic Tours and More.

I don't do business via texts unless texted first. Same for DMs. When I create an event on my page, it goes out to whoever Facebook sends them to. I have no control beyond that.

If you are receiving texts, messages, etc., let me know. I guarantee you, it isn't me doing it.
