Virtually
unchanged since 1938, the Parrot at 42 North Main has pleased
generations of Helenans and visitors with their famous handmade
candies and fountain treats.
The Parrot
Confectionery has its beginning as the Helena Drug Co. Fountain
and Confectionery Department in the early 1910's. The current
location is the fourth address for the business, opening on
October 15, 1938...
