The Heart Butte, Montana "Historical Markers" on MontanaPictures.Net (Page two of eight)

32208 We've lost count of all the drives we made to this area.

Like many people, we were only vaguely aware of all the history we passed on the way to Heart Butte.

The "Old Agency Site" Historical Marker on Highway 89   told us the "1879 Agency" was located nearby on Badger Creek.

The new Historical Markers are located next to the site of the "1879 Agency."

You no longer have to "guess" where the historical event took place.

32208 Have you ever viewed a "Buffalo Drive Site" from such a close distance?

According to the book, "A Pictorial History of the Sun River Valley" by the Sun River Historical Society

There are dozens of "Buffalo Drive Sites" along the Sun River to the south of us but they are on private land.

To see a "Buffalo Drive Site" you have to drive east to Havre, Montana to see the 2,000 year-old "Drive Site" called "Whkpa  Chu'gn."

Or you can drive to Ulm Pushkin State Park west of Great Falls, Montana.
