Treasure State Acres: One of Lewis & Clark County’s largest, friendliest subdivisions
Treasure State Acres sits just north of Helena, Montana’s city limits — and just off Montana Avenue — and is home to about 350 residences. It is a quiet neighborhood, yet close to Helena’s fastest-growing commercial district, which includes Target, Winco Foods, Murdoch’s, Albertson’s, Lowe’s, Home Depot and many other retail outlets. The subdivision is home to one of the state’s two LDS temples. (The photo of the temple above was taken during the Fourth of July fireworks show that takes place in the TSA Park just to the east of the temple.)
TSA’s park is one of the largest and most used in the county.
Treasure State Acres boasts one of Montana’s best displays of Christmas tree lights and street luminarias.
TSA hosts one of Helena’s two LDS meetinghouses, as well as one of Montana’s two LDS temples.
TSA boasts its own sewer and water district, as well as a large park that includes a children’s playground.
At Christmas-time, visitors from around the region drive through Treasure State Acres to see the spectacular Christmas lights with which residents have bedecked their homes, and the luminaries they have set along the streets. Another big attraction on Christmas Eve is the Nativity display at the LDS property located near the entrance to TSA. People who come to see the display donate thousands of pounds of food to the local food bank.
