Drawn to
Bozeman by the lure of gold, prospectors were swept up by Big Sky beauty and became permanent residents. It’s easy to linger in our Montana history books, held by the incomparable history of an irresistible state. Whether you arrive at
Glacier National Park via the
Great Northern Railway or
Going-to-the-Sun Road, the scenery remains sublime, though not always hospitable. The Yellowstone
earthquake of 1959 trapped more than two hundred in the Madison River Canyon and the
Dimple Knees scandal rocked Butte to its core. But Montana’s history, like its matchless landscape, rewards the work of preservation.
