Why This Montana Town Deserves More Attention

The plains of east central Montana are one of the emptiest and most desolate portions of the country. With only a few medium-sized cities scattered across a landscape spanning tens of thousands of square miles and several more small communities in between, it is certainly a great place to escape human contact if you ever need to.

Within this ocean of wild grasses, ranches, and badlands is a true gem that deserves more attention, the town of Fort Benton. Located about 40 miles northeast of Great Falls, this little-known destination is a treasure trove of historic landmarks, pristine green spaces and natural corridors, and more fun and interesting tourist attractions for you to enjoy.
