BUTTE â After five years of hard work, the Butte Historical Memorial group set up a memorial to honor one of Butteâs greatest tragedies: the Kenyon-Connell Warehouse Explosion of 1895.

The five figures in the memorial represent the animals, civilians and firefighters who were killed the evening of Jan. 15
