Take Me to the Gardens
On a rain-soaked evening in early 1900s Butte, a streetcar bound for Columbia Gardens glows against the fading light. Families gather along the tracks, bundled against the weather, while a mother and child share a quiet moment beneath the trees. Reflections shimmer across the pavement as the streetcar waits to carry its passengers toward one of Butte’s most beloved destinations.
Take Me to the Gardens is a tribute to the excitement and anticipation that surrounded a trip to Columbia Gardens. For generations, the gardens offered families an escape from the hard edges of the mining city—a place of amusement, music, picnics, and treasured memories.
This painting captures that feeling of being on the way somewhere special: the glowing car, the damp streets, a child’s eagerness, and the promise of an evening at the Gardens just ahead.
