Hamilton (pop. 3,700) is the central trade area for hundreds of small farms, ranches and orchards in the area in western Montana. The town was founded by 19th C copper magnate Marcus Daly.
In 1886 Marcus Daly purchased the existing Anthony Chaffin homestead in Hamilton and remodeled it. The new mansion was completed in 1889 and was remodeled again in 1897 to a Queen Anne Victorian home and then into a new Georgian-Revival style home in 1910. The home has more than 50 rooms; 25 bedrooms, 15 bathrooms and seven fireplaces.
