NATIONAL MONTANA DAY - May 3
Wed May 3rd

National Montana Day

Starting the week of Independence Day and ending with Hawaii. We feature a small portion of each states' past, foods, and the people who make up the state. Several states have their own state celebrations. There's so much more to explore that we can't help but celebrate our beautiful country even more.

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

If we look up, big sky country is present day or night, whether we look up or not. At night and during the day, the northern lights sparkle and dance, and the dome above us is azure blue paint. 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.

Travel east and back in time to the Battle of the Little Big Horn in June 1876. Visit Custer National Cemetery to learn about the people who died in the war that day.. Montana became a state on November 8, 1889, 12 years later, on November 8, 1889.

In Montana, it's easy to get lost. The stunning mountain views alone can make one forget why they left the room. For example, Glacier National Park is a treasure to see. www.nps.gov/glac/index.htm : A dark night sky is one of the country's most valuable natural resources, according to the Crown of the Continent.

When it comes to Montana, one thing is for sure: its people. People are the best thing about it. If you're looking for dinosaurs, the past of Blackfeet, or Nez Pierce, a real working ranch, Montana's people are as authentic as the land they live on.
