Step inside one of the longest-operating brothels in American history.
In this episode, Montana Max takes you deep into the real story of the Dumas Brothel in Uptown Butte, Montana — built in 1890 and operating until 1982. This isn’t a cheap ghost tour. It’s a documented history of Butte’s red-light district, Venus Alley, copper boomtown economics, labor realities, and the uneasy compromises that shaped the Richest Hill on Earth.
We’ll separate fact from folklore, walk through the Ruby Garrett era and the 1981 robbery that ended it all, and explore why the building still feels haunted — even if you don’t believe in ghosts.
History. Architecture. Corruption. Survival. And the shadows that linger in old brick walls.
If you love Montana history, haunted legends, Western labor stories, or deep dives into the real Old West, this episode’s for you.
