FINDING YOUR WAY AROUND: A self-guided tour of the Magic City

Billings is the comfort zone of the West. In the Yellowstone Valley below, the city bustles with shopping, industry, art galleries, 200 restaurants, Billings Mustangs baseball, first-class live theater and entertainment, 4,000 hotel/motel rooms, horse, car and motorcycle racing, new movie theaters, performing arts theaters, museums and historic attractions. Multitudes of parks and river accesses offer outdoor fun.

Geographically, Billings is divided into the West End, Downtown and Historic District, The Heights, Lockwood, and the southside/southwest corridor.

The West End

Access the West End from the Zoo Drive I-90 Exit 443 or the City Center Exit 446. ZooMontana is just off Exit 443. See its acres of habitat filled with exceptional animal species. It opens at 10 a.m. daily. Shiloh Road, which intersects Zoo Drive, will lead you to the major West End arterials of Shiloh Road, King Avenue, Central, Broadwater, Grand, and Rimrock Road.

From Shiloh, Rimrock Road leads you to Zimmerman Trail and up to the top of the rimrocks. Turn right (east) on Highway 3 to reach the airport.

Exits 443 and 446 lead you to West End hotels, and a wide variety of shopping and dining.

Take I-90 Exit 447 to reach the Bureau of Land Management State Office, and the motels and businesses surrounding it. Exit 447 is also the access to Amend Park, Riverfront Park and the Audubon Center on South Billings Boulevard. It offers a small lake with non-motorized boating, picnicking, fishing, equestrian trails (horses not provided) and hiking. The park covers several acres and offers a perfect place to get some exercise. There is plenty of shade. No admission is charged.

Downtown

If you are coming from the west, Downtown is most easily accessed at Exit 450.

North 27th Street is the spine of Downtown, leading straight to the airport. First, Third, and Sixth Avenues North are downtown one-way arterials running west.

(First Avenue becomes a two-way at North 18th Street.) Montana Avenue, Second and Fourth Avenues North are downtown one-way arterials running East.

If you are coming from the east, Downtown and the Heights can be accessed from Exit 452. Take First Avenue to go Downtown.

The restored train depot on Montana Avenue in the Historic District, where passengers boarded in days gone by, is now a great place to tour and take pictures.

It is a neighbor to a great selection of restaurants, shops and art.

Billings Historic District buildings and businesses have been renovated and refurbished back to the bustling atmosphere of the days when the Magic City sprang from the fertile banks of the Yellowstone River. Enjoy the modern-day cobblestones, ironwork any blacksmith would be proud of, flowers and trees.

The heart of Downtown Billings is at Second Avenue North and Broadway (North 28th Street). Skypoint points to the Big Sky of Montana and offers you shade and shelter. You’ll find helpful maps and merchant lists in kiosks around town.

Billings Heights

If you are coming from the east along I-94, we recommend that you take Exit 23 at Pompeys Pillar (28 miles east of Billings). Visit the National Monument that bears Captain William Clark’s carved signature. Then proceed along Highway 312.

Stop in Worden and Huntley to discover unhurried businesses and friendly people.

Follow 312 into Billings Heights. The Heights is a geographical benchland that rises above the Yellowstone River Valley. Turn Left onto Pemberton Ln. then a left onto Like Elmo Dr. to check out the wildlife displays at the Fish, Wildlife and Parks center overlooking Lake Elmo. Return to Main Street for a wide variety of food and shopping.

Going south on Main Street in the Heights will lead you to MetraPark, the home of MontanaFair, concerts, sports shows, ag shows, trade shows, motorsports and rodeos. Pose for a picture in front of the statue of world famous Saddle Bronc Champion Dan Mortensen. It is right in front of the MetraPark arena.

When Willy Braun, frontman and principal songwriter for the band began writing songs for Long Night Moon, he quickly found a theme emerging. “About halfway through writing this record, I noticed that almost all of the songs I was writing, whether they were songs about the road, life, or love, had something to do with traveling. It started as an accident and I decided to just go with it. Before we knew it, there was a definite theme.” It’s honest, original and constantly evolving. The group is known for their explosive live shows and a passion for making albums of substance. Long Night Moon is no exception to this rule.

Origin

One of the most intense and technical forces of the contemporary death metal world, ORIGIN, have returned to stake their claim as the leaders of metal’s new wave of extremity with their fifth studio effort entitled Entity.

As expected, the death grind trio of Flores, Ryan, and Longstreth continue to churn out frantic hell paced grids of metal torment, but now further compliment the arrangements with a new found propensity for churning grooves and the hook laden approach that first reared its ugly, but accessible head on the bands 2007 offering, Antithesis. The band once again returned to Chapman Recording Studios, in Lenexa, Kansas to work with long time engineer and friend, Robert Rebeck. As stated multiple times in the past, Origin proves once again, that they stand head and shoulders above their peers.

Yellowstone River Roundup This year’s rodeo at the fair will be its biggest yet.

The 2016 Yellowstone River Roundup at MontanaFair will have the largest purse in the rodeo’s history and more than 500 competitors again in 2016. The fair is scheduled to have 532 cowboys and a total purse of over $110,000 making it one of the top 40 rodeos in the United States.

The Yellowstone River Roundup in the Northern Hotel Grandstands is sponsored by Shipton’s Big R. There are three night performances August 18, 19, and 20. Each performance begins at 7 p.m.

For real rodeo fans, slack is always a big draw. Slack occurs when there are too many participants to give every performer a time slot in the night time performances. Slack will also be in the Northern Hotel Grandstands each day. The rodeo has grown consistently since it moved to the Grandstands and began its affiliation with PRCA in 2011.

Sankey Rodeo Company of Joliet will provide the stock and assist in producing the fair rodeo again in 2016.

The top cowboys in the world will take their place in this year’s rodeo.

Billings has a special place for team ropers. The world’s current #1 team Luke Brown of Stephenville, TX and Jake Long of Coffeyville, KS lead the way as this year’s rodeo will have 18 of the 20 best headers and heelers in the world at the Yellowstone River Roundup. Local favourites, Chase, Brady, and Travis Tryan along with Dustin Bird of Cut Bank are scheduled to appear this year.

There are only seven women who have topped one million dollars in earnings from Barrel Racing. Three of the seven will be at the Yellowstone River Roundup. The three superstars of barrel racing include Mary Walker of Ennis, TX, Sherry Cervi of Marana, AZ, and Lisa Lockhart of Delrichs, SD. Locals to watch in this event include Shelly Anzick of Shepherd and Terri Kaye Kirkland of Billings.

Saddle Bronc Riding features a father, his sons, and his brother all trying to hang on to the broncs. Cody and Spencer Wright from Utah are

brothers. Cody is currently 15th in the world standing. Cody’s sons Rusty and Ryder Wright will also be bronc busting at the Yellowstone River Roundup.

Every category of action at this year’s rodeo features top performers.

Bareback Riding has Tim O’Connell from Iowa, the current category leader with locals Justin Miller of Billings and Chase Erickson of Helena working to get a paycheck. The world’s number one bull rider Sage Steele Kimzey of Strong City, OK is scheduled to appear this year. Ty Erickson of Helena ranks second in the Steer Wrestling standings and will be working to move his way to the top.

Tough Enough to Wear Pink Night is back for the rodeo on August 18.

St. Vincent Healthcare Foundation is the sponsor of the night which draws awareness to breast cancer screening and support.

St. Vincent Healthcare will have a mammogram trailer at MontanaFair August 18 to encourage women to be checked for breast cancer.

Rodeo ticket prices are $28 for premium seats, $25 for reserved seating. General admission to the rodeo is $18. Kids 12 and under have a special $14 admission. Fair

admission is included with the purchase of a rodeo ticket. Tickets are online at MetraPark.com, by phone at 800-366-8538 or 406-252-2422, at the Metra Park box office, or at Leslie’s Hallmark in Rimrock Mall.

Putting on a rodeo takes the time and talent of many folks. Sankey ProRodeo is proud to introduce you to their staff.

Rodeo Clown - Scott Cameron Scott Cameron of Golden, Colorado, began riding bulls in high school and began fighting bulls in 1986. In 1988 Scott joined the PRCA and worked rodeos throughout the Northwest and several in Eastern Colorado including the PRCA Mountain State Circuit Finals and the Wilderness Circuit Finals as well as the Coors Showdown in Scottsdale, AZ. Scott has also performed as the rodeo clown at the Montana Circuit Finals and the PBR World Finals. He has performed as far away as Mount Aso, Japan, Helsinki, Finland, Lima Peru, and Paris France. In 2009 he performed with Rodeo Europe Tour in Spain, including Madrid, Valincia Porta Santa Maria, Marbella, Castellon, Guadalajara and Logrono. The question most often asked is, “Aren’t you scared?” to which he responds, “Sure I’m scared, but you have to keep it in perspective. As far as I know, theres not one carnivorous bull in the whole world. SO they might kill ya, but they can’t eat ya!”

In 1806, Captain William Clark camped at the Clarks Fork Ditch Yellowstone mouth of the Clark’s Fork River where it joins the Yel- River S. Park City Rd. lowstone River.

This site eventually became known as Reiter Dr. Laurel. Dug-out canoes were made for their trip on the Yellowstone River at a site near Park City ( 7 miles west of Laurel). You can retrace the route of the Lewis and Clark Expedition through Montana — the state with more distance traveled than any other state during the expedition. On their return trip, Lewis and Clark split and took separate routes while in Montana.

Don Pasquale Film Screening at Tippet Rise in August

The inaugural concert season at Tippet Rise Art Center is almost at an end, with sold out finale concerts on August 20 and August 21.

But arts lovers can still experience breathtaking performances through the center’s Glyndebourne film screening of an acclaimed opera. On Thursday, August 18, the center presents Gaetano Donizetti’s comic opera Don Pasquale, with the libretto by Giovanni Ruffini. The live film screening begins at 6:30pm in the Olivier Music Barn. Tickets are $10 for adults and free to children 18 and under. Tippet Rise does not serve food during the film screenings, but offers light pastries at intermission.

The screening from July 10 of Le nozze di Figaro from Glyndebourne opera house.

Tippet Rise Music Venues

Concerts will take place in the Olivier Barn and the Tiara, with design concept and acoustics developed by Tippet Rise director Alban Bassuet in collaboration with a team of engineers from Arup, and in Domo, designed

by Ensamble Studio. Bassuet said, “During my years of working as a venue designer, I have seen a change in sensibility and aspiration in the concert world. Musicians, audiences, architects, and acousticians have all started to look for alternatives to physical configurations and performance formats. At Tippet Rise, we are meeting this desire by offering intimate, multi-sensory, and immersive performances in a range of indoor and outdoor performance venues matched with distinctive performers and spectacular natural settings.”

The scale and proportions of the Olivier Barn were inspired by the powerful performance spaces where Haydn and Mozart expected their works would be performed. A contemporary innovation a high ceiling suspended above the boxlike space lends an elevated, ethereal character to the deeply resonant acoustics, but is designed to mimic the pitched roof of a traditional wood barn. The rustic modesty of this design helps to establish an informal atmosphere and dissolve the barrier between performers and audience. The 100 seat Tiara serves as a moveable acoustic shell without walls, featuring a partial ceiling whose corners re-direct sound toward the audience, creating vibrant and enveloping acoustics.

The design allows for 360° views of the rolling hills, with the Beartooth Mountains in the distance. Local timber craftsmen Gunnstock Timber Frames have served as lead architect for the projects. Domo is one of Ensamble Studio’s raw-surfaced, quasi-architectural gateway structures and shelters for Tippet Rise, which rear up from the earth like primitive markers.

Don Pasquale is the 64th of Gaetano Donizetti’s 66 operas. Set in 19th century Rome, this comedy sparkles with a diamond bright wit, while a darker and more complex undertone emerges as the story of deception unfolds.

The story of Don Pasquale revolves around a classic comedic premise: a young couple in love schemes to thwart the inappropriate plans of a pompous old man, who wants to marry the girl himself. What makes the opera notable within this familiar genre is its emphasis on genuine human emotion. Donizetti’s score is graceful and effervescent, as one would expect from this master of melody, but adds an additional level of sophistication to match the comic (yet insightful) proceedings.

Glyndebourne is an opera house in the countryside of Sussex, England. Acoustically, Glyndebourne is considered to be one of greatest opera houses in the world and was a designed by Arup - the same company that designed the Olivier Music Barn at Tippet Rise. Founded in 1934 by John Christie and his opera singer wife, Audrey Mildmay, Glyndebourne is committed to presenting opera of the highest quality, commissioning new work, developing new talent and reaching new audiences. It is home to the annual Glyndebourne Festival, a widely respected education program, and a library of audio-visual recordings of Festival productions. In the world of opera, Glyndebourne is unique and is recognized globally as one of the great opera houses.

Tickets are $10 per film screening and are free to children 18 and under. All screenings take place in the Olivier Music Barn and begin at 6:30pm.

In addition to opera, Tippet Rise offers screenings of the Royal Shakespeare Company from Stratford-upon-Avon. Upcoming Shakespeare screenings include Cymbeline, Friday, October 21, 6pm, and King Lear, Friday, November 6, 6pm. Go to www.tippetrise.org for tickets and information.

Tippet Rise Art Center is a new destination for the arts that celebrates the union of land, art, architecture, and music, bringing concerts by world-renowned musicians and large-scale contemporary sculpture to the hilltops and rolling meadows of Fishtail, Montana. The center is open to the public every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 10am - 6pm, through September 25, 2016. Admission is free but preregistration online at www.tippetrise.org is required.

The screening on Thursday, August 18 at 6:30 p.m. of Don Pasquale from Glyndebourne opera house.

Pompeys Pillar Visitor Center open for the season Pompeys Pillar National Monument is excited to announce that it is open for the summer.

Hours of operation are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., seven days a week. The main entrance gate will also be open during these hours of operation. Walk-ins are always welcome every day from dawn to dusk.

Daily fees are $7 per vehicle. Interagency passes are honored and can be purchased at the fee station.

Trails lead visitors past a replica of Captain Clark’s canoes and to a view of the 670 mile-long Yellowstone River.

The Friends of Pompeys Pillar, in conjunction with the Bureau of Land Management, hosts “Clark Days” on a weekend near the date each year to commemorate Captain William Clark’s visit to the site.

“The monument will be hosting a lot of exciting events this season and we really want folks from across the region to come celebrate the history and heritage of the West with us,” said Pompeys Pillar Monument Manager Dave Lefevre. “We especially want folks to put

July 30 on their calendars as this will be the date of the Monument’s Annual Clark Days Celebration.”

Riverwalk The concrete Riverwalk, representing the Yellowstone River, begins in the parking lot and meanders through the interpretative center to the base of the Pillar. Signs along the path quote from Clark’s journals and tell of the party’s experiences from their entry on the Yellowstone on July 15, 1806, to their encampment at the confluence of Yellowstone and Missouri Rivers on Aug. 3.

Communities along the Yellowstone River welcome expedition travelers to tread where Captain Clark’s party trod on the return journey in July-August 1806.

New Exhibition at the Yellowstone Art Museum Opens with Resonant Work by Four Montana Artists

The exhibition remains on view through October 2nd.

The symbolism and intent of written words has a history as long as human memory. Echo: Unspoken Dialects reveals the intersection between emotion and reason as described by the paths of memory employed by four leading Montana artists who utilize words or language-like forms.

Four distinctive voices in the sea of contemporary Montana art practitioners employ the complexities of written or published language in combination with traditional and non-traditional painterly and sculptural forms. These words and non-words “echo” between the past and present while positively charging viewers’ cognition and interpretive abilities in their journey to discover meaning, joy, and wonder in recent works by Catherine Courtenaye, Bozeman; Kate Hunt, Kalispell; Michael Haykin, Boulder; and Jerry Iverson, Big Timber.

Catherine Courtenaye uses script (real and invented) to modulate the surface of beautiful color-field paintings. Her calligraphic characters dance and travel

through time and space—often balanced with bird imagery to reinforce the themes of flight in her paintings. Kate Hunt’s sculptures are composed of a multitude of compressed layers of printed matter that operate as time capsules, relics, and

totems from the near and distant past.

Michael Haykin’s recent paintings recall the graffiti of childhood: love notes and carved names left on school room desks and obscured messages inscribed on urban walls. Jerry Iverson emulates the conventions of written language while inventing a stark and perhaps unknowable new vocabulary rife with Modernist art references.

Seen together, works by these participating artists represent a human desire to record and share experiences in literal, figurative, representational, and conceptual terms. Their collective wisdom and art forms will engage viewers on multiple levels that range from serving their curiosity to appeasing the need to be sur-

rounded by beauty—ultimately deriving their own meanings from the echo of sincere and intelligent expressions stirred from the depths of creative minds at work and play in the reverberant space of Montana.

Echo: Unspoken Dialects is organized by the Yellowstone Art Museum, curated

by Senior Curator Bob Durden. The exhibition includes work by artists who are represented in the museum’s Montana Collection. The timing of the exhibition will appeal to area residents and to the many cultural visitors who travel during the summer seeking a taste of the cultural treasures across the nation. The exhibition is appropriate for all ages. Members are admitted free, and the general public can visit for a nominal admission free. For more information, visit the museum’s website www.artmuseum.org.

The Moss Mansion Historic House Museum DOWNTOWN – The Moss Mansion Historic House Museum, located in Billings on 914 Division St., is a red-stoned mansion built in 1903 by Preston B. Moss, who moved to Billings from Paris, MO. It was inhabited solely by Mr. and Mrs. Moss, their six children, and three servants until 1984. The house was built for a cost of $105,000, when most homes averaged about $3,000. It has 28 rooms, and is 60 feet square. It rises 45 feet above the surround-

ing gardens.

The home became an historic house museum shortly after the last family member passed away in 1984.

The house was well preserved by the family with very few alterations. For this reason, the home is filled with most of the original contents and design features: interior curtains, wall coverings, furniture, light fixtures, carpets and color. The originality of the artifacts makes the Moss Mansion a unique community treasure.

The Mansion is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Seasonal exhibits are also featured. The Moss Mansion was designed by the famous New York Architect Henry Hardenbergh, who also designed the original Waldorf-Astoria, Plaza Hotel, The Dakota, Williard Hotel, and Copely Hotel.

Hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday

through Saturday with tours on the hour starting with the first tour at 10 a.m. and the last tour at 3 p.m. On Sunday, the museum is open 1-4 p.m. with tours on the hour starting with the first tour at 1 p.m. and the last tour at 3 p.m. The museum is closed Monday. Admission is adults $10, seniors (age 65+) and military $7, ages 6-17 $6, and children age 5 and younger admitted free.

To reach the Moss Mansion Historic Museum Home, take Exit 450 from I-90 to Third Ave. North, a one-way St. leading directly to the Moss Mansion on 914 Division St. Parking is available on Yellowstone or Clark avenues.

The Moss Mansion is operated by the Billings Preservation Society, Inc., a nonprofit organization. Learn more at mossmansion.com.

Beat the Heat and Enjoy a Visual Feast at the Yellowstone Art Museum

Billings Arts Association Exhibit at McCormick Cafe Members of the Billings Arts Association have been invited to exhibit at the McCormick Café on Montana Avenue during August and September. The exhibit will begin August 3 and run through September 28. The artists of the BAA are eager to show their work in this lovely large venue. The McCormick Cafe has always shown an appreciation for the arts in its support of the work of individual artists and for the bi-monthly Art Walks.

An added feature of the exhibit is that sales of artwork will generate funding for art education charitable purposes namely the BAA’s Art Education Grant. The BAA Grants fund art education projects in our area so teachers can propose special projects which otherwise might not be affordable. An innovative proposal for art education in any venue or medium will be considered.

Contact Billings Arts Association for the grant application form. www.billingsartsassociation.org BAA is an organization of 125 artists from Billings and the surrounding areas. Art represented by the group varies considerably: photography, pottery, jewelry making, sculpting, welding, glass art as well as encaustic, sketching and painting in watercolor, oil, acrylic as well as other mediums. We gather to exchange art information and provide education to our members. You’re welcome to share comments about this exhibit which will be up thru September with the exhibit coordinator, Bill Arbizzani at 406- 259-9502 or email arbizzani@charter.net.

The dog days of summer are upon us, but the Yellowstone Art Museum is a great destination for beating the heat while enjoying a feast of visual offerings with family members and friends.

Just in time for the harvest season, the YAM offers a new exhibition that examines an often misunderstood rural community, which is known by the public primarily through their interactions at local farmers’ markets. Jill Brody: Hidden in Plain Sight reveals everyday moments from life in Liberty County Hutterite communities with her large-scaled, beautifully composed photographs. The exhibition remains on view September 1, 2016 – December 30, 2016 with an opening reception on Thursday, September 1, 2016. The public will have an opportunity to learn more about this exhibition and the artist’s work at Brody’s artist’s talk 6:30 – 7:30 p.m. Thursday, September 22nd.

Members of the centuries-old Hutterite group live among us, yet separately. We see them, know of their unique colonies, and occasionally do business with them, yet we understand little of their history and the nature of the way of life they follow. Like so many minority groups, the Hutterites have suffered persecution and hostility throughout their history, from their earliest days in the 16th century to the present. Theirs is a group that is both ethnic and religious in its origins, yet their essential human kinship with those of us who live in the contemporary, technology-driven world is not evident to everyone.

“People think we are ignorant because we only go to school through eighth grade, and because we don’t go out of the colony very much. But here we learn from the time we are little children to care for each other and live in peace. So why would we go out when we already have what other people want?”—young Hutterite woman If anything is commonly known about Hutterite colonies, it is their reputation for being self-contained and private. So much more is the privilege, then, to be able to view this selection of photographs by Jill Brody, a photographer who earned the trust and support of the Hutterite colonies in Liberty County, Montana, to the degree that they allowed her to document their daily lives and share her masterful photographs with audiences who wish to build their understanding of the broad diversity of ways of life among people.

Jill Brody has a long history of aesthetically impactful photodocumentary work in Montana.

She is a consummate professional whose attention to detail and thoughtful composition have garnered much praise.

Brody approached her work with the Hutterites as she had her previous projects: with careful observation, patience, and empathy. As former senior curator at the Missoula Art Museum, Stephen Glueckert, has stated, “Brody is a genuine artist, true Jill Brody, Onion House Tableau, to herself and to her audience.

2012, photograph Her work helps clarify ideas, concepts, and imagery that have emerged from the isolation of the West.” Hidden in Plain Sight was originally organized by the Missoula Art Museum and traveled the state under the auspices of the Montana Art Gallery Directors Association. The presentation at the YAM is under special arrangement with the artist and is sponsored by an anonymous donor, Dr. Stephen and Marilyn Kramer, Dave and Cynthia Hummel, and the Stapleton Gallery.

Other offerings abound at the YAM and the public is invited to learn more about the works included in its current exhibition Echo: Unspoken Dialects. Join other area art patrons at Deep Echo: A Conversation with Kate Hunt, Jerry Iverson, and Michael Haykin, three of the four exhibiting artists. The conversation will be moderated by the museum’s senior curator, and takes place 6:30–7:30 p.m. Thursday, August 18th. An additional conversation with exhibiting artist Catherine Courtenaye will take place 6:30–7:30 p.m. Thursday, September 8th.

The timing of these exhibitions and programs should appeal to area residents and to the many cultural visitors who travel during the summer and fall seeking a taste of the cultural treasures found across the nation. The YAM is fully accessible and family friendly, members are admitted free, and the general public can visit for a nominal admission free. For more information, visit the museum’s website www. artmuseum.org.

Legends of the Little Bighorn live in Hardin

Big Horn County, Yellowtail Lake Hardin, 15 miles west of Little Bighorn (Custer) Battlefield, is situated on the banks of the Bighorn River. The town is surrounded by productive ranches and farms, and the area is rich in history.

General Custer meets his demise here every year. Civilized fun and comforts include a pioneer museum, an art gallery, trading posts, a variety of interesting shops, a kiddie playground, an indoor swimming pool and exercise rooms, and a golf course.

All the Comforts Accommodations: Motels, campgrounds, and restaurants will keep you comfortable while you explore the Little Bighorn Battlefield and Custer National Cemetery, Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, Yellowtail Dam, and the Bighorn River.

Chamber of Commerce Hospitality: Besides being the home of Little Big Horn Days, Hardin has other events from rodeos and parades to street dances, art and craft shows, to quilt shows.

See the calendar of events in this section, or call the Chamber of Commerce office at 406665-1672 for details.

Historians say the town was named for Samuel H. Hardin, a cattle man from Wyoming who leased tracts of land on the Crow Reservation to range his cattle. Local industry now includes farming and ranching, surface coal mining, fishing and recreational opportunities.

You’ll see sugar beets, corn, wheat, and barley in the fields.

The raising of beef cattle, sheep, hogs, and quarter horses is part of the livestock economic picture.

Just east of Hardin, where the Little Bighorn River joins the Bighorn, is the island site where the Far West sternwheeler boat anchored on June 27, 1876, to evacuate the wounded from the Reno and Benteen battles. It was the Far West that carried survivors with the story of Custer’s defeat to the rest of the world.

Museum and Visitor Center Big Horn County Historical Museum and State Visitor Center is easily accessible off Interstate 90, or Exit 495 through downtown Hardin.

The museum is located on a 35-acre site, once a flourishing vegetable farm that includes the original farmhouse and barn.

Through the years 26 authentic historic structures from throughout the county have been moved to the site and restored. Each building features exhibits that represent that era.

Along with the historic buildings, three structures were built on site to provide exhibit space for the horse drawn equipment, extensive collection of restored tractors and farm equipment, and a main exhibit building that serves as a visitor center, office and gift shop. Recent restoration projects include the Will James studio and a homestead house.

This living storybook of

early Montana shows the diversity of items that were used by early-day settlers.

A new 13,690 sq. ft. museum building opened in 2012. The new facility provides a climate controlled environment.

Historic District Hardin’s Historic District starts near Railroad Street and Center Avenue through the 200 and 400 blocks, plus buildings facing Third Street from Cheyenne Avenue to Crow Avenue.

The District earned a listing on the National Historic Register in 1984.

Call 406-629-0134 to schedule a walking tour. The Historic Preservation Office is in the depot. Big Horn County and Hardin information are also on the National Register database.

Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument I-90 Exit 510, 406-638-2621.

Open year round. Located near Crow Agency, on Highway 212 (I-90 Exit 510), Little Bighorn Battlefield is just 15 miles east of Hardin.

Crow Agency Apsaalooke The Crow Reservation is where culture and tradition are a way of life, perpetuated from generation to generation. Experience the culture of the Apsaalooke, “Children of the LargeBeaked Bird,” the Crow People.

Big Horn County Big Horn County is a land made up of varying jurisdic-

tions. As you drive across the Crow and Northern Cheyenne Indian Nations, be aware that each has its own unique regulations and law enforcement agencies. The National Park Service maintains jurisdiction at Little Bighorn Battlefield and the Big Horn Canyon National Recreation Area.

The scenic Big Horn, Pryor and Wolf Mountain ranges are part of the Big Horn County landscape. Visitors may want to enjoy fishing the Big Horn, Little Big Horn, and Tongue Rivers which wind through this region. The spectacular Big Horn Canyon National Recreation Area is host to water sports including boating, water skiing and more. Chief Plenty Coups State Park, at Pryor, contains much history of the Crow Indians.

Among the primary attractions within Big Horn County is the Little Bighorn Battlefield, site of the defeat of Lt. Colonel George Custer and the 7th Calvary by a combined force of Sioux and Cheyenne warriors in 1876. Annual reenactments of the battle occur each June. In August, Crow Agency, capital of the Crow Nation, hosts Crow Fair when the landscape is transformed by the addition of over 1,000 pitched teepees and thousands of people gathering for traditional dances, drumming and other events.

Big Horn County is rich in culture and time-honored traditions.

N. Cheyenne, Busby, Lame Deer and Ashland Loop

Tongue River in Ashland Busby Just off Highway 212 at Busby is a monument to Two Moon, a Northern Cheyenne Chief who took part in the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Convinced that he could not run from the army forever, he surrendered his band to General Miles at Fort Keogh (Miles City) and they remained there until the Tongue River Reservation was established in 1884.

The monument was built in 1936 by an Indian trader, Moncure.

In 1993 a historic reburial was held in Busby, bringing home the remains of 10 men, five women, and two children who had died about 116 years before, during the Indian Wars. The remains had been in the possession of museums at Harvard’s Peabody Museum, the National Museum of Health and Medicine and at the Smithsonian Institution’s Museum of Natural History. The remains are buried in a circle near the Two Moon Monument on Highway 212.

The “museum burials” were the result of an 1880s Army directive ordering military surgeons to collect the skeletal remains of Indians killed in battle in order to gauge the ballistic effectiveness of new Army carbines and to study Indian subcultures. A federal law was passed in 1990 that allowed the return of the bones to their homelands for burial.

Lame Deer Lame Deer is headquarters for the Northern Cheyenne Tribe and the site of the offices of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Also at Lame Deer are the Dull Knife Memorial College and Dull Knife Memorial Library. Lame Deer is the site of the Northern Cheyenne Annual 4th of July Pow Wow. Gourd dancing is

held daily, and rations and feasting are always part of the festivities.

The Northern Cheyenne Reservation extends from the Crow Reservation eastward to the Tongue River.

The Morning Star design is the official emblem of the Northern Cheyenne Tribe. For the Cheyennes, the Morning Star “lights the morning sky and shines more brightly than the other stars.” It has a different color. The Cheyennes often pray when they see this star early in the morning sky.

It has its own name in the Cheyenne language: Wohehiv.

Ashland Ashland is located on Highway 212 “The Warrior Trail.”

The St. Labre Indian School at Ashland celebrates over 129 years of education, social programs, college scholarships and much more. The Museum and Gift Shop summer hours are: Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day Weekend: Mon.-Fri., 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. After Labor Day, hours are Mon.-Fri., 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Varied weekend hours. Tours of the facility are available. The St. Labre Museum is filled with Indian artifacts from all over the country. Adjacent to the museum is a Native American gift shop.

St. Labre Founded in 1884 to serve the Northern Cheyenne Indians, St. Labre is located in the beautiful and historic Tongue River Valley, bounded by the Tongue River and the scenic Custer National Forest, filled with traces of early Indian days.

In 1883, a soldier, Private George Yoakam, stationed at Fort Keogh near Miles City, recognized the hard times experienced by the Northern Chey-

ennes. He contacted Bishop Brondel and told him of the Indian people who were roaming the Tongue River Valley without homes or land. Land was subsequently purchased by the bishop and, on March 29, 1884, St. Labre Indian School became a reality. Four Ursuline Sisters from Toledo, Ohio, responded to the bishop’s requests for priests and nuns.

St. Labre Indian School made a humble beginning with the construction of a log cabin school operated by the Sisters.

This three-room cabin served as residence, school and dormitory, as well as the church. A replica of the cabin now stands on the

site of the original mission.

Today St. Labre provides preschool to grade 12 education to Native children at three locations on the Northern Cheyenne and Crow Indian reservations.

St. Labre depends almost entirely on private donations for its many programs. Without federal or church funds, many friends all over the United States “keep the miracle alive.”

Visitors to this facility will enjoy seeing the unique teepeestyle church and Cheyenne Indian Museum with its large collection of Native American artifacts and art from the Northern Cheyenne, Crow, Sioux and several other tribes.

Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness was created from existing National Forest lands in 1978. The wilderness is partly in Gallatin, Custer and Shoshone National Forests and is composed of 944,000 acres (3,820 km2). The wilderness encompasses two distinct mountain ranges, namely the Beartooth and Absaroka ranges. These ranges are completely distinct geologically speaking with the Absarokas composed primarily of volcanic (or extrusive) and metamorphic rock, while the Beartooths are made up almost entirely of granitic rocks.

THE CROW AND NORTHERN CHEYENNE THE CROW

About 75 percent of the Crow tribe’s approximately 10,000 or more enrolled members live on or near the reservation. Eighty-five percent speak Crow as their first language.

This tribe was called “Apsaalooke,” which means “children of the largebeaked bird.” White men later misinterpreted the word as “crow.” Chief Plenty Coups was the last chief to gain that status in the traditional Crow manner. He lived until 1932, leaving his land and home as a park for all people. The Crow Reservation is in southcentral Montana, bordered

by Wyoming on the south, with its northwestern boundary about 10 miles from Billings.

For many years the vast coal deposits under the eastern portion of the reservation remained untapped.

One mine is now in operation and providing royalty income and employment to tribal members. The Crow operate only a small portion of their irrigated or dry farm acreage and about 30 percent of their grazing land. They maintain a buffalo herd of 300 head.

Attractions include The Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area features spectacular scenery, wildlife viewing, boating, fishing and camping. There are two visitor centers, one at Fort Smith and one at Yellowtail Dam. Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument/Reno-Benteen Battlefield commemorating the Sioux/Cheyenne victory over the Seventh Cavalry. The Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument features museum exhibits, an interpretive center and ranger-led programs.

Chief Plenty Coups State Park, home and grave site of the well-known Crow Chief, Plenty Coups. There is a display of Crow artifacts and history, and a scenic picnic area.

Crow Agency becomes the ‘tepee capital of the world’ in mid-August during the annual Crow Fair celebration. Cultural tours offered through Little Bighorn College, which can be reached at 406-638-3104. You may also contact the Tourism Office and Visitor Center for more information about the Crow Indian Reservation by calling 406-638-7272.

Approximately 5,000 Northern Cheyenne, along with members of other tribes and with non-Native Americans, live on the reservation.

Lame Deer is the tribal and government agency headquarters. There are four other districts that comprise the whole reservation. The rugged country of the Northern Cheyenne Reservation is in southeastern Montana. It covers 445,000 acres and is bounded on the east by the Tongue River and on the west by the Crow Reservation.

Major employers include the St. Labre Indian School, the federal government, tribal government, power companies and construction companies. The education system,

farming, ranching and small businesses contribute to the economy.

A historical buffalo jump, burial sites of Indian chiefs, Custer’s last camp before the Battle of the Little Bighorn, the Cheyenne Indian Museum and Gift Store, St. Labre Indian School and the Ashland Pow Wow are of special interest in the Ashland area.

Lame Deer is tribal headquarters and home of the Northern Cheyenne Powwow. Some features are the Northern Cheyenne Arts and Crafts Center, Charging Horse Casino and Cafe, Chief Dull Knife College Cultural Center and Lame Deer Museum. The Pow Wow and Rodeo is held the 4th of July weekend.

DREADNOUGHT, FORD THEATRE REUNION, PI+FIRE

Dreadnought of Denver, Colorado USA finds a home in surreal atmospheres, complex, yet approachable grooves, and an immense palette of textures and moods. Collaboration and the highest quality of friendship have fashioned this quartet’s knack for contemplative song craft while also inspiring each member to bring their multi-instrumental talents to the foray, introducing mandolin, saxophone, and flute into their repertoire. Dual female vocals embellish the group’s signature sound as a finishing touch.

It’s no wonder that this foundation allows for references to classic prog rock and funk, post rock, black metal, and Latin jazz without sacrificing a sonic imprint filled with spaciousness and ether.

JEFF AUSTIN

21+. The career of the Colorado-based artist has already seen him break through jam and bluegrass scenes, play stages from The Fillmore Auditorium to Red Rocks Amphitheater, and outdoor events like Telluride Bluegrass Festival and Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, among many others. But with the launch of his solo career in 2014, Austin is now building on the foundations of previous ventures while honing his own sound and charting

new courses.

“I’ve learned a lot from the people I’ve played with,” says Austin who has shared stages with such luminaries as Del McCoury, Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush, Earle Scruggs, Jon Fishman, and Phil Lesh. And it’s artists such as these who have helped crystalize Austin’s idea of what he wants to do as he moves forward with his eponymous project. “From both the rock side and the bluegrass side,” he explains, “I’ve learned a lot about song structure, solo ideas, playing with guts, and being who you are.”

When it comes to dynamics and structure, Austin taps the variety of sounds and styles he’s absorbed from theater, jamming, nearly twenty years of performance, and his love of experiencing live music as a fan.

It’s that inner concert enthusiast that binds him to his own audience and a powerful exchange between the stage and the crowd. “I hope they take with them exactly what I hope they leave with us,” he says. “And that’s inspiration.”

Memory and Identity: Apsáalooke and Hidatsa ledger art at Bair Museum This summer, the Bair Museum hosts the second exhibition and a different selection of ledger drawings from the Barstow Collection at the Montana State University Billings Library. The entire collection consists of 66 drawings by members of the Crow (Apsáalooke) and Hidatsa (Gros Ventre of the River) who were together on the Crow Agency Reservation in the 1880s and 1890s.

Elizabeth Guheen, Director and Chief Curator of the Charles M. Bair Family Museum, said the ledger drawings in this summer’s exhibition speak to a specific time in the life of Native peoples in Montana and in the United States and contain many different messages because they are communicating across time and history and through many generations.

“The Indian schools on the reservations focused on the government’s goal of “Americanizing” the Indian population on the youngest members of the tribes. Students were required to cut their hair, speak

only English, and wear American clothing. Many schools required that the children change their names to more American ones. A few of the drawings appear to be signed by the artist because they had been sent to school. In answer to the implied question, “Who are you?” the scrawled signature written in pencil “I am the Indian Boy” stands as the defining metaphor for children taken from their parents and their way of life and given a new, generic identity untethered to any memories or culture.”

Major Charles Barstow was chief clerk for the Bureau of Indian Affairs at Crow Agency from 1879 to 1897. He provided Indian warriors materials and encouraged them paint and draw. The ledger drawings mimic the function of traditional buffalo hide painting – narrative of social status, youthful adventure from capturing horses and “counting coups” to dancing and courtship. Barstow’s collection of 66 drawings was rediscovered in 1930 in Roundup and came to MSU-Billings through the

efforts of Ruthann Wilbur Hines.

The Bair Museum, located in Martinsdale, is open 10am to 5pm seven days a week

through Labor Day, Labor Day through October – Wednesday to Sunday, 10am to 5pm. Visit www.bairfamilymuseum.org for more information.

Hidden western treasures at the Yellowstone County Museum A hidden treasure western history enthusiasts will delight in discovering, the Yellowstone County Museum has exhibits dedicated to ranch life, homesteading, antique firearms, and one of the largest collections of American Indian artifacts in the region.

Charting the New Frontier New as of 2014 is “Charting The New Frontier: An Exhibit of Mapping and Surveying the Yellowstone Valley.” In this exhibit history buffs will find a timeline of maps that date from 1778 to 1927 detailing railroad development, mining, fur trade, settlement and exploration. The maps are printed in a high quality, fine art form by Kim Lugthart of Artful History Reproductions in Missoula, MT. The original maps are on loan from William Cole of Cole Law Firm in Billings.

Visitors will also find antique surveying equipment with descriptions on loan from Selby’s in Billings.

Cattle Drives of Yesteryear A J.K. Ralston original painting, spanning the breadth of the room, is displayed above the Yellowstone County Museum’s (YCM) authentic chuckwagon exhibit. It is a true-to-life depiction of the valley’s first settlers and the gear they brought west.

Short-horned beef cattle were

trailed into the Yellowstone River valley from Idaho and Oregon by Charles Yegen in 1879. Beef cattle production became a linchpin industry in Montana Territory once rail service to Billings opened access to eastern markets.

The pilot wagon had to be driven by a seasoned guide, often old trappers, explorers, and men who had been in country and knew the trails. Behind the guide came the chuckwagon, driven by the cook. The cook worked out of a converted freight wagon built to house supplies and kitchen tools.

Behind the chuckwagon was the bed wagon, piled high with quilts and treated canvas, the forerunners of today’s camping gear. Then came the bawling, tail-twitching mass driven by outriders. A cattle drive could cover about 5 miles per day.

Native American Collection Yellowstone County Museum is the kind of museum that tells the stories of the people and places, tools, art, and triumphs and heartache of the early residents, both Native American and settlers, who populated the Yellowstone Valley. The displays are considered some of best of its kind in the state.

The museum enjoys expansive space around the building.

The patio affords a spectacular

view of the Yellowstone Valley.

The museum gift shop is full of Native American reproductions and books of Yellowstone Valley topics.

The Yellowstone County Museum is located in the historic McCormick log cabin at

1950 Terminal Circle. Follow the roundabout through the airport and loop around. Hours are 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Learn more at yellowstonecountymuseum.org or call 406-856-6811. Free admission.

Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument is now open

Little Bighorn Battlefield is 15 miles east of Hardin. Picture, if you can, June 25, 1876, the day when over 210 troopers of the 7th Cavalry fell in battle. The thunder of hooves, war cries of the Teton Sioux and Northern Cheyenne Indians, rifle fire and death chants softly echo across the plain. This was...Custer’s Last Stand.

June 25, 2016 marked the 140th anniversary of the Battle of the Little Bighorn.

The Visitor Center displays exhibits on the battle, Indian culture, and frontier soldiers. New interpretive exhibits include “People of the Plains,” a story of the Lakota, Cheyenne, and Arapaho people at the time of the battle in 1876. Full-size photographic cut-outs and artifacts from the battlefield collection interpret the many roles that tribal members played, including the warrior’s dual role as hunter and warrior.

“Tools of the Battle” describes the vast assortment of weapons used in the battle by the 7th Cavalry and the Native American warriors.

“Unraveling the Mystery” is an exhibit of the important archaeological surveys conducted on the battlefield and how the recovered artifacts provide an understanding of what may have happened during the battle.

Firearms analysis and forensic pathology have revealed not only individual weapon types and details of movements during the battle, but also important clues about the various equipment used by both sides.

The Memorial is open Memorial Day through Labor Day 8 a.m.-8 p.m., after Labor Day through September 8 a.m.-6 p.m., OctoberMarch 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m., and April through Memorial Day 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Daily ranger talks and movies are provided.

Hiking is permitted on a 3/4 mile interpretation trail, selfguided with brochures. There is also a self-guiding booklet for the cemetery.
