The 25 years spanning the creation of Montana Territory in 1864 and statehood in 1889 was a chaotic quarter century filled with some of the biggest changes, the most memorable events, and most colorful characters Montana has known. In this program, we’ll journey across the territory and examine some of the stories instrumental in shaping the Montana we know today, and their echoes in the fast-changing future of our shared home.
