Dorsey & Whitney - An International business law firm, applying a business perspective to clients' needs in Missoula, Montana and beyond.

They’re partying in the ‘Burg in the name of resiliency.

This town that not many decades ago danced with ghosts started celebrating its 150th birthday Thursday with bells, speeches, cake and — yes — even a camera-toting drone on the exact June date that Philipsburg became a town in 1867.

Its namesake, mining engineer Philip Deidesheimer, must have known Mark Twain in the Comstock silver mines of Nevada, said Jim Jenner, who served as master of ceremonies for the noon celebration program at the old Fire Hall.
