Located just north of Augusta, Montana, this historical marker is located in a dirt pull off on the west side of highway 287. The history shared is interesting and reminds us of the affect the Great Northern Railway had on the settlement of the area. It also reminds us that those that stay strong will survive in in the face of competition that seems unfairly weighted in a single direction. A nice spot to stop, stretch and grab a quick history lesson.
