The Lexington mine was one of the silver mines which established Butte as a rich silver producer in the late 1870s through the 1880s. The Lexington and Alice mines, both located in Walkerville at the top of Butte hill, attracted some of the earliest outside investors to Butte and pioneered large-scale industrial mining in the district.

The mine operated until the mid-1950s.
