The Real Montana Lives Here

The Montana Stories You Won't Find Anywhere Else

Ever wonder what happened to the Marlboro Ranch in the Crazy Mountains? Who was the first person to see Montana from the sky? What photographer's lost masterpieces sat hidden in a Terry basement for decades?

The Corporate Cowboy Paradise

For 20 years, Philip Morris flew 350 people to Montana each year for the ultimate cowboy fantasy—all expenses paid. Now it's owned by the same billionaires behind Yellowstone Club.

Conquering the Sky

In 1911, 19-year-old Cromwell Dixon became the first person to fly over the Continental Divide. A month later, he was dead. For thousands of years, only birds had seen their shadows on Montana's mountains.

The Hidden Photographer

In a Terry basement sat boxes of glass negatives—the lost work of Evelyn Cameron, who captured authentic prairie life like no one else. Her photographs rival the masters, but she died unknown.
