After Dark
The evening series
Three hours through Butte's historic red-light district, with access inside two buildings that rarely open their doors: the Myra Brothel and the Dumas Brothel. Light bites and a cocktail to start, the history with Chelsea Hogan, an optional paranormal investigation, and a toast to close. Come for one building, or take the full night.
Evening interiorThree ways to spend the night
Pick your evening.
Every After Dark night runs about three hours and includes light bites and a cocktail. The full night does both buildings; the half-nights do one each, and the Dumas adds an optional paranormal investigation. Small groups, capped at 25, each books on its own Eventbrite listing.
After Dark: Full Night
This one only happens once. The complete evening, both houses, every door open, light bites and a cocktail at Headframes Spirits, then through the district with Chelsea Hogan into the Myra and the Dumas. The night ends back at Headframes Spirits.
Myra Only
A history-focused evening with access inside the Myra Brothel, a building that rarely opens to the public. Light bites and a cocktail at Headframes Spirits to start, then Mercury Street and Venus Alley with Chelsea Hogan before heading inside the Myra. Closes back at Headframes Spirits.
Dumas Only
Inside the Dumas after dark, open from 1890 to 1982, with trapdoors, basement cribs, and tunnels beneath downtown Butte. The night starts at Headframes Spirits, moves through the district with Chelsea Hogan, and ends inside the Dumas with a champagne toast and an optional paranormal investigation. Closes at 51 Below.

Before you book
FAQ
- Is there an age limit?
The After Dark evenings serve a cocktail and are 21 and up. The daytime Walk the Line has no food or drink and welcomes all ages. Guests 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult.
- What's included in the ticket?
A cocktail and light bites to start, building access, your guide for the evening, and a toast to close: Headframes Spirits or a champagne toast at 51 Below, depending on the night.
- What's the difference between Full Night, Myra Only, and Dumas Only?
Full Night takes you inside both buildings (the Myra and the Dumas), and at the Dumas you choose history with Chelsea or an optional paranormal investigation. Myra Only is a history-focused evening inside the Myra. Dumas Only goes inside the Dumas with Chelsea, plus an optional paranormal investigation.
- Is this a ghost tour?
No. After Dark is history first, led by Chelsea Hogan from the records up. The paranormal investigation is optional and only inside the Dumas, and it isn't a performance. The Dumas has a documented history of unexplained activity; this is a chance to be in the building after dark with someone who knows it well. The history alone is worth the evening.
- How many dates are there?
A handful, across July and August 2026. Full Night runs once; Myra Only and Dumas Only run twice each. When a night sells out, it's gone.
- Where do we meet?
Every After Dark night starts at Headframes Spirits, for the Full Night, Myra Only, and Dumas Only alike. Exact details come with your Eventbrite confirmation.
