MONTANA HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Broadwater had a financial interest in the Helena Electric Railway Company, which ran streetcars from Helena west to the resort, and also to the nearby Kessler Brewery and Central Park. The tracks ran between present-day Knight and Choteau Streets.

This view looks north, across Ten Mile Creek from the resort grounds. The trolley line shown (on what is now Spring St.) connected the Broadwater to Central Park, located where the Green Meadow Country Club is today. The popular park boasted a beer garden, roller and ice skating rinks, a dance pavillion, a carousel, and a zoo.
