Nobody has done more to preserve history in the Mining City than Jim Michelotti.

The McQueen native has been interviewed countless times for news stories, books and movies. He played a prominent role in the documentary “Resurrecting Holy Savior,” which came out in 2023. Jim volunteers a ton of time to the Butte-Silver Bow Public Archives, and he even joined the group of former Dublin Gulch residents recently to try to save that old neighborhood from British Petroleum and Butte-Silver Bow’s plans to cover it with toxic waste.

Jim is a member of the Butte Sports Hall of Fame, an organization he helped keep alive after the passing of Pat Kearney. He and his wife, Margie, also raised some outstanding athletes who produced even more outstanding athletes. This is Jim's story.
