Deer Lodge, Montana

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Old Montana Prison was built by inmate labor, this turn-of-the-century fortress was home to at least one member of Butch Cassidy's "Wild Bunch". Guided and self-guided tours lead you through the intimidating Cell House and into the chilling slide bar cells and black box of Maximum Security. Expo and The Museum work together throughout the year and the Museum offers discounted admission to those attending Expo.

Wide open spaces, the hard-working cowboy, his spirited cow pony, and vast herds of cattle are among the strongest symbols of the American West. Once the headquarters of a 10 million-acre cattle empire, Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site is a working cattle ranch that preserves these symbols and commemorates the role of cattlemen in American history. The staff at Grant-Kohrs Ranch offers demonstrations of horse-drawn equipment just before the start of the Expo.

The pure enjoyment you can experience in Deer Lodge and Powell County is limitless: hiking, riding, snowmobiling, cross country skiing, golfing fishing, hunting, pack trips, and photography - all at their very best.
