The Whitehall Ledger is the only newspaper dedicated to the people of Whitehall. While area residents can obtain information from other newspapers, from television and radio, from modern communications such as the internet and from a variety of other sources, only one entity — the Whitehall Ledger — focuses on the Whitehall area and this section of the Jefferson Valley. And this website is the only site on the worldwide web dedicated to providing you with a wide range of information about Whitehall and the people living in the community.

Every Wednesday the Ledger is published, and every week it contains local news, information about local people, local events, local activities, local history, local personalities, local accomplishments, local donations, local business news, local church services, and more. The key word here, if you hadn't noticed, is local. If you care about, or are interested in, Whitehall or its residents, you should be reading the Whitehall Ledger and logging on to the Ledger website.

The cost to subscribe to the Ledger is $23 in Jefferson and Madison counties, $25 elsewhere in Montana and $28 for out of state subscribers. To start your subscription today merely send in the appropriate amount to the Ledger at Box 1169, Whitehall, MT 59759, and we'll start your 52-week subscription immediately.

If you don't read the Ledger, you don't know what's going on in Whitehall. And if you don't know what's going on in Whitehall, you don't know what you're missing.
