You have to love a city that has a webcam pointing at the eagle’s nest so that everyone will know when the baby eagles are ready to fly. But, Miles City wasn’t always this charming and orderly. The city’s first inhabitants were soldiers, bullwhackers, buffalo hunters, muleskinners, Indians, and cowboys, and it consisted mostly of saloons, dance halls, boarding houses, and general stores.
Some of them have been meticulously restored and preserved, especially those on historic Main Street. A few provide home for The Range Riders Museum, a great source of all information on the history of eastern Montana. There is always something going on in Miles City, from the famous rodeo Miles City Bucking Horse Sale and bluegrass festival to the November Wine and Food Festival. Don’t miss WaterWorks Art Museum with works of art by some of the country’s most renowned artists.
