Historical Society Looking for the Best Place in Montana

We all know that Montana is home to breathtaking views.  And it can either be from the top of a mountain near Glacier or Yellowstone National Parks; or possibly the wide-open plains showing the vastness of the Big Sky we all enjoy each day.

But to choose the best of those?  It's a colossal challenge to attempt to narrow it down to just one.  But the Montana Historical Society (MHS) in Helena is doing just that and want everyone across the state to join in and help pick the best of the best of Montana.

How to Vote for the Best of the Best in MHS's Montana Madness Bracket

This is the second year the Montana Historical Society has offered the bracket and are excited about this year's topic.  Martha Kohl, outreach and education program manager for the MHS said "Montana has no shortage of extraordinary places, and we think Montanans will have a strong opinion about which one deserves the top spot. We can't wait to see how this plays out".
