The Butte-Silver Bow Public Archives will continue its Brown Bag Lunch series on Wednesday October 26, with a presentation by Mary McCormick about the family of Butte's first mayor, Henry Jacobs. In researching the historic Jacob's House, McCormick has uncovered fascinating and compelling new information about the family who lived there in the 1880s.

Mary McCormick is the Historic Preservation Officer for Butte-Silver Bow. McCormick has worked in Butte since 1985 as cultural resource specialist for the Montana Power Company and as an architectural historian for Renewable Technologies. After working for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Seattle for three years, she returned to Butte in 2015.

The presentation will begin at noon and run about an hour at the Archives, 17 W. Quartz. Guests are encouraged to bring a sack lunch. Coffee and water will be provided.

Brown Bag Lunches are held the second and fourth Wednesdays of every month. Upcoming lectures will focus on the geology behind the formation of sapphires in Montana and presentations on Butte's ethnic history. For more information, contact the Archives at 782-3280.
