(Helena) The Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest recently replaced 4 monuments honoring the men who died in the 1949 Mann Gulch Fire.
The new monuments were transported via mule to the Mann Gulch site in the Gates of the Mountains Wilderness, where a team of Forest Service staff and the Montana Discovery Foundation installed the new monuments and will return to clean and paint the new crosses.
The Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest are planning several upcoming memorial tribute events in downtown Helena, set to take place August 3rd through August 5th.
