The Montana Capitol Restoration Foundation presents the arrival of
Rapid Transit, 1901 - Stagecoach to Capitol City.

This is the second in a series of ornaments created for the continued historic benefit of "The People's House" - the Capitol of the State of Montana in Helena.

Each ornament is boxed and includes a card with Ellen Baumler's history notes on stagecoaches operating near the Capitol. This Christmas Gift Idea can serve as either a handsome Christmas display or a Christmas tree ornament. Whether you are looking for a holiday ornament, a tree ornament, or Christmas collectable, this gift will highlight a moment of Montana history. This ornament is created by the same company that creates the White House ornaments every year.
