Fort Benton

This little Montana town is a very interesting, intriguing place out in the middle of nowhere.
 
Known as the birthplace of Montana. So many interesting stories in this town and they have taken the trouble to share the stories with the wandering tourist. A drowned governor, Old Shep, the Grand Hotel, The bloodiest block in the West. Just some of the stories.
 
For details about Old Shep, see http://www.fortbenton.com/shep/story.html.
 
The town of Fort Benton has its own website also http://www.fortbenton.com/.
