Home of Peace is a Jewish cemetery in Helena, Montana, founded in 1867 by the local Hebrew Benevolent Society (also referred to as the Hebrew Benevolent Association), which formed on December 9, 1866.
The original wrought iron fence erected in 1867 still stands except on the north side and is in disrepair in places.
Most of the Jewish immigrants to Helena had come from Germany or Prussia in the wake of the Montana Gold Rush.
Most of them practiced Reform Judaism and worked as merchants, providing goods and services to the miners.
As the Jewish population of Helena peaked in 1900 with 138 adults, burials in the cemetery are no longer as frequent as they once were.
