Inspired by the diverse and colorful histories of Montana’s centennial farm and ranch properties, Montana Historical Society Interpretive Historian Christine Brown’s slideshow presentation will highlight the trials and triumphs of Montanans who established and kept their land in the same family for a century or more. From early Montana miners turned farmers, to single women homesteaders and entire Scandinavian immigrant families, their stories of grit and resourcefulness chronicle the past 150 years of agricultural and community development in Montana.
