Marysville, Montana is a small ghost town in Lewis and Clark County, Montana. In the 1880s and 90's it was a bustling mining town of 3,000 people, and was the center of gold mining in Montana. A few buildings remain including a baseball field with bleachers. The population now consists of a few local residents, most of which commute to and work in nearby Helena, Montana. Just up the dirt road is Great Divide Ski Area, down the road is the Silver City Saloon on Highway 279.
