On December 20, 1985, the Montana Standard newspaper proudly proclaimed "Lady" Mission Accomplished," celebrating the completion and dedication of the iconic Lady of the Rockies statue overlooking Butte. This monumental statue, standing 90 feet tall, was erected as a tribute to all women, particularly mothers. Conceived by local resident Bob O'Bill, the project was a massive community effort, relying on donations and volunteer labor to transport and assemble the statue on the Continental Divide. Its completion marked a significant achievement for the people of Butte and Montana, symbolizing resilience, faith, and community spirit. The Lady of the Rockies has since become a prominent landmark and a testament to the dedication of those who brought this ambitious vision to fruition, drawing visitors and inspiring awe with its majestic presence high above the city.
