About Melrose
Melrose is a small community in Silver Bow County, Montana, situated between Butte and Dillon — roughly 34 miles south of the former and about 30 miles north of the latter. Its zip code is 59743.
Given the limited documented history available, visitors should approach Melrose as a quiet, sparsely populated settlement rather than a richly preserved ghost town with notable structures or formal attractions. The surrounding Montana landscape is the primary draw for those who make the detour.
