Friday, July 19, 2024: … HISTORICAL MARKER: LAHOOD PARK.
Same Location As Previour Photo => About A Mile East Of Town Of Jefferson Island, MT, And About 1000 Feet East Of The Jefferson River, At LaHood Park, MT. GPS = 45.8531201,-111.9221256
..****************..

The /\Above/\ Historical Marker, Tells The Interesting Story Of => “1928, Shadan “Dan” LaHood built a hotel, gas station, and auto camp here to take advantage of tourist traffic on the newly opened highway through the Jefferson River Canyon.”
EXPLANATION:
…The /\Above/\ Historical Mark094er Sign ends with => “LaHood’s hotel burned to the ground in 2001,” leading us to expect all was GONE.
…However, the NEXT Photo (Sept 2024) Shows a very much original 1928 appearance => Motel Building, complete with a Roadside, Big High Announcement Sigh, AND by the highway another big sign saying “Historic Point”.
…So, It looks to me that this is the 1928 Real McCoy. What do you think? Please send email.
