Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument
We really aren't into visiting battlefields. Generally, they are macabre, empty fields with little to look at and much to get depressed about. But Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument has some striking points of interest and, frankly, we were driving right by.
Bridger Brewing Company
The Montana State Bozeman community has lucked out with the Bridger Brewing Company right across from campus. We were lucky having it right next to a Verizon retailer when mechanical crisis lead us to get a new phone.
Old Time Road Trip
Along with the Museum of the Rockies 300,000 objects spanning 500,000,000 years of history are examples of earlier nomadic equipment that is not that unlike today's features.
Museum of the Rockies
Bozeman, Montana has dinosaurs. The museum of the Rockies is where you find them. Compare T. rex skulls and the transition between an adolescent Triceratops to an adult. See paleontology in action at the show lab where paleontologists are absorbed in cleaning, preparing, and analyzing new fossil discoveries. My favorite curatorial flourish is the partial sculptures where half is a fully fleshed dinosaur with the other side being the bones in situ.
Nevada City Music Hall
Thompson-Hickman Museum
Experience a piece of Montana's gold rush history and the oddities that come with it at Virginia City Historical Museum in Virginia City, Montana.
J.Spencer Watkins Memorial Museum
Most people have a pretty sterile vision of museums. They have institutional white walls and satin ropes. There may be a security guard perched by the entry way to the gallery. The J.Spencer Watkins Memorial Museum is not that museum.
