On June 19, 1921, the City of Deer Lodge celebrated the official opening of the new City Hall Building. The event included a proclamation from state of- ficials designating Deer Lodge as the Montana Capital for the Day. 100 Years to the day, the City of Deer Lodge will commemorate the event on Saturday, June 19, 2021, during the annual Territorial Days that will once again include the designation of being Montana Capital for a Day. Deer Lodge Mayor Diana Solle was thrilled to find out the 100th anniversary of City Hall coincided with Territorial Days and approached Montana Governor Greg Gianforte with the idea of another proclamation. She praised Gianforte for the proclamation they will receive on June 18 and his willingness to help commemorate the 100th anniversary. Looking back at the inaugural event, Solle said although Deer Lodge had been an official government since 1888, they did not have a city hall and the huge celebration that included a ball. This year’s event will include tours of the Deer Lodge City Hall, and they also plan on making a vid- eo of the winding of the clock tower that will later be available for viewing. “This is just a great time to celebrate City Hall,” Solle said. The Territorial Days events on June 19 are scheduled from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and include a parade, live music, street dance, Show N Shine Car Show, and Jaywalkers Jamboree.
