About 1/2 way through our drive, we stopped for lunch at a tiny "Mom & Pop" type of restaurant in Deer Lodge, which is located between Missoula and Butte. Deer Lodge is right off of I-90 so it was an easy place to stop and grab a bite to eat.
According to the Internet, Deer Lodge started out as a mining town but it today it is mainly known for one thing in particular...prisons! Deer Lodge is home to the main prison in MT, but it is also home to the old Montana State Prison which has been turned into a museum and is probably the town's biggest tourist attraction. This prison is located right on Main Street across from the diner where we ate lunch.
