Description
Mike Nelson was born in Milltown, as were his parents. His grandfather and father worked at the Anaconda mill. Mike worked only one year at the mill, then went to work for the Montana Highway Department. Except for a few months in Alaska, he lived all his life in Milltown until he and his wife moved to East Missoula in 1972. He still owns the house in Milltown he grew up in. Nelson recalls his early life in Milltown and describes the people and businesses in Milltown. He talks about the coming of the Interstate through Milltown, and the effects that had.
