Drummond bills itself as the home of the "
World Famous Bullshippers". Down by the railway tracks one will find their haunt, the corrals of the Bullshippers, sporting a big sign reading "
Used Cow Lot".
In Drummond one will find a grocery store, two gas stations/convenience stores, a quilting store, three motels, two bars, three restaurants, plus a drive in. Amenities include an impressive library, a health center, a bank & post office, fire department and ambulance as well as a senior citizens center.
The town hall, a smallish building on Rennie Alley at A street, shares the premises with the local Legion, Post 125, and town shops. It's a long concrete building with vertical aluminum siding covering the Legion's section of the building at the front and overhead doors at the rear for the town shops.
If one happens to be passing by on the July 4th weekend they may participate in the
Kiwanis Bullshipper’s Rally & Rodeo, the town's biggest annual blowout. In 2023, it was the 82nd Annual Drummond Kiwanis PRCA Rodeo.
A long stone's throw north of the Clark Fork River, Drummond was named for a trapper who operated a line of traps in the area and camped about where the railroad station now stands. The first camp at this site was established in 1871 and was called Edwardsville for John Edwards, a local rancher.
It was renamed for trapper Hugh Drummond in 1883. When the post office was established in 1884 the name was shortened from Drummond Camp to Drummond.
