ACTON Acton is 16 miles northwest of Billings. Its population numbers less than 100 people, but this is cattle country, and the little town and post office serve many people in outlying ranches. Acton began as a station on the Great Northern Railroad. Hang out with the locals at 3 North Bar & Grill. southeastmontana.com/community/acton

ALZADA Alzada began as little more than a saloon in 1877. It was located strategically along cattle trails and serviced the thirsty cowboys looking for a break from their long, hard days on the prairie. Mr. M. Stone, who also owned a store and was the town’s first postmaster, built the local saloon. Today Alzada is much as it was then, a great place to stop for gas, a snack or a drink. southeastmontana.com/community/alzada
