Hardin, located in Big Horn County, Montana, is surrounded by history.
Legendary men such as Lewis and Clark, George Armstrong Custer, Jim Bridger,
John Bozeman and John Colter traveled this land, a land occupied by the
Crow Indians centuries before their arrival, and by dinosaurs millennia
before the Crow.
The county gets its name from the Big Horn Sheep that inhabited the mountains
to the southwest.
Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument marks the spot where George
Armstrong Custer was annihilated by the Sioux and Cheyenne in 1876.
Each August, Crow Fair attracts tens of thousands of Indians and non-Indians
alike to the "Tepee Capital of the World".
Yellowtail Dam forms 70 mile long Big Horn Lake, which is admired for
its walleye fishing and water sports. Below the lake is the spectacular
Big Horn River, known world-wide by serious trout anglers.
These are but a few experiences waiting to be enjoyed. Plan to visit Hardin,
Montana, and experience the heart of the American West.
