Brown Bag Lunch: Wise River Flood of 1927 with Matthew Stanchfield

The Butte-Silver Bow Public Archives’ Brown Bag Lunch Series welcomes Matthew Stanchfield to present about the Wise River Flood of 1927.

Even though it happened almost 100 years ago, there is still much about the Wise River Flood of 1927 that we don’t know. Matt Stanchfield, long-time resident of Wise River and a member of the Big Hole Historical Association, will present new information (and some old) during the Brown Bag presentation on July 9th.

The Brown Bag presentation will begin at noon on Wednesday, July 9th, 2025, and will last about an hour. The presentation will be held in the auditorium at the Butte-Silver Bow Public Archives located at 17 W. Quartz Street. Guests are encouraged to bring a sack lunch. Coffee and water will be provided.

Brown Bag Lunches are held on the second and fourth Wednesdays of every month. Upcoming lectures will focus on topics of local interest. For more information, contact the Archives at (406)782-3280.
