Small business owner Heather Scott shares what she loves about Helena.

Hey there, neighbor!

The best neighbors around

I love the sense of community in Helena. From the day I moved to Helena, my neighbors made me feel welcome and included. Whether it’s getting together for a neighborhood book club or just stopping to catch up while out for a walk, there is never a shortage of smiling faces and helping hands.

On the trail

The Hillsboro Trail

Hillsboro Trail is such a hidden gem!  Friends who live outside of Helena are always so amazed that we have such a beautiful and safe place to walk right in our backyard.

Picture perfect

Support for local small businesses

I am a small part-time photographer and the amount of support I’ve received from neighbors and other local business owners has been amazing.  I recently bumped into a more established photographer and she immediately offered her advice and encouragement.  That is what community is all about!

The Holiday spirit

Helena’s festive celebrations

I can easily say that I have never lived anywhere that does holiday festivities quite like Helena.  From 4th of July fireworks to the unbelievable Halloween festivities and Christmas lights – I look forward to holiday events in Helena all year long.

Old Town Vibes

A place to do it all  

Old Town is one of my favorite places in Helena. From shopping and eating to live music, enjoying the park and the river, the roses in the summer, the pumpkin house in the fall and the lights over the waterfall from Buck Creek BnB—it is just the epitome of small town charm.
