Review:
Fort Owen State Park is home to the historic Fort Owen, which was built out of logs and adobe and is the site where Montana’ first permanent white settlement was built. In 1841, Father Pierre DeSmet came to what is now the town of Stevensville, Montana and founded the Saint Mary’s Mission among the area’s Flathead Indians. The fort was established by Major John Owen in 1850 to serve as a regional center for trade, and many artifacts and period furnishings can be seen on display in Fort Owen’s restored rooms. The park also includes picnic tables and vault toilets.
