Visit Montana
The epic tale of Southeast Montana runs deep through its dramatic buttes, weathered badlands, winding rivers and hidden canyons. Here, layers of history unfold like the region's varied landscape – from the prehistoric giants who roamed these plains millions of years ago to the vibrant cultures of the Crow, Northern Cheyenne and other Plains Indian tribes who have called this land home for centuries.
Follow in the footsteps of Lewis and Clark along ancient pathways, discover the stories of determined homesteaders and ranchers who carved out lives on the prairie, and explore an array of museums, battlefields, state parks, and national monuments that bring these stories to life. Whether you're walking the ground of Little Bighorn, studying dinosaur fossils, or learning about tribal traditions that continue to thrive today, Southeast Montana invites you to not just witness history, but to become part of its ongoing story.
There is no doubt that the individuals, families and native peoples who made Southeast Montana their home were a hardy bunch. As you peruse the many museums, heritage centers and historic sites across Southeast Montana, put yourself in their shoes, read their stories and understand their journeys.
