the Jefferson or Boulder River near Whitehall, or stop at the city
park.
Whitehall was named after a large white ranch home, owned
originally by E. G. Brooke. It was used as a stopping place for
stages running from Helena to Virginia City. Brooke named his
structure "Old Whitehall" after a similar structure in Whitehall,
Illinois. The original station and post office is located 4 miles
from where Whitehall now stands. The community began to develop
after the railroad came through in 1889.
The
only physical evidence of the Lewis and Clark Expedition is Captain
William Clark's signature at Pompeys Pillar. Almost 200 years later
the town of Whitehall is leaving its own mark of the upcoming Lewis
and Clark Bicentennial on downtown buildings. Brightly colored
murals depict actual events that members of the expedition
experienced as they passed through this area during their 1803 -
1806 journey.
