NATIONAL MONTANA DAY - May 3
Wed May 3rd

National Montana Day

We began honoring each state in the order they were born in the union, beginning with Hawaii and ending with Hawaii on Independence Day. We've chosen a small piece of each state's past, foods, and the people who make up the state. There's so much more to discover, but we can't help but celebrate our beautiful country even more.

When it comes to the 41st state in the United States, it's difficult to decide where to start.

Big sky country is present day or night, whether we look up or down. The dome above us reveals the northern lights, which sparkle and dance at night and during the day. An azure blue paints the dome above us. However, the Yellowstone area of the state is also known for the big sky, its geysers, hot springs, mountain views, and the majority entrances into the park, as well as the large sky, its geysers, hot springs, and mountain views..

In time to the Battle of the Little Big Horn in June 1876 and the Battle of the Little Big Horn, travel east and back in time. Visit Custer National Cemetery to learn about the people who died in the war that day... Montana became a state on November 8, 1889, twelve years later, on November 8, 1889.

In Montana, it's easy to become disengaged. The stunning mountain views alone will make one forget why they left the room. Glacier National Park, for example, is a treasure to see. http://www.nps.gov/glac/index.htm. One of the Continent's most valuable natural resources, a dim night sky, is dubbed the Crown of the Continent.

People in Montana are one thing that is for sure when it comes to Montana: its people. The people of Montana are as authentic as the land they live on, whether you're looking for dinosaurs, the history of Blackfeet, or Nez Pierce, a true working ranch.
