Bozeman, Montana
Settled in 1864 and named for trailblazer John M. Bozeman, the town of Bozeman is known for small grain farming, livestock, dairying, and the State University. It is home to the Bridger Raptor Festival (fall), the Gallatin County Fair (July), the Montana Winter Fair (late January or early February) and the Sweet Pea Festival (August). Its small town feeling is combined with big city attractions like galleries, music, and unique western stores.
