**A rare chance to own a true piece of Montana history—right on Main Street in Virginia City.** Boot Hill Mercantile isn’t just a building; it’s a chapter of the Old West. This iconic property was the original home of *The Madisonian* newspaper and remains one of the **very few privately owned commercial buildings** in town—a true rarity in a community where most properties are state-owned. Opportunities like this simply don’t come up often. From the moment you step inside, the place speaks to you. Original hardwood floors creak with history, vintage fixtures and signage set the tone, and the solid stone façade reminds you this building has stood here since the mid-1800s. Visitors routinely stop, take it all in, and say, *“This is the real Virginia City.”* It’s memorable in the best way. Today, the building operates as a successful mercantile and gift shop, benefiting from steady foot traffic from tourists, history lovers, families, and locals who appreciate authentic places with soul. At approximately **1,971 square feet**, the space feels welcoming and manageable, with an open layout that easily supports a range of possibilities. Continue the current retail operation or reimagine the space as a café, gallery, artisan shop, bookstore, or small museum that complements the town’s historic character. The sale includes the **building**, nearly all **fixtures**, and **inventory at closing**, making this a true turnkey opportunity with income potential from day one. Virginia City is one of the most complete preserved frontier towns in the American West, drawing visitors for gold-rush history, live theater, reenactments, stagecoach rides, and immersive Old West experiences. Owning a business here means more than investing in real estate, it means becoming part of a living story that continues to draw people from around the world. If you’ve been searching for a **commercial property with authenticity, visibility, income potential, and the rare advantage of private ownership**, Boot Hill Mercantile offers something truly special—an opportunity rooted in history and ready for its next chapter.
