Bozeman was founded in August of 1864 by John Bozeman, a frontiersman from Georgia who led wagon trains west to the gold fields in the Montana Territory along the Bozeman Trail, a cutoff of the Oregon Trail. The town served as a supply hub for prospectors looking to strike it rich near Bannack and Virginia City.
Bozeman became the county seat of Gallatin County in 1867.
The city of Bozeman is a college town, with a large School of Art. If you stroll through downtown Bozeman, you will find 50 to 60 sculptures, all with their own unique stories.

MALCOLM C. STORY
1902 - 1994
A GIFT TO THE PEOPLE
OF GALLATIN COUNTY
Standing in front of the former Gallatin County High School, Malcolm Story was the grandson of Bozeman founding father Nelson C. Story; who co-founded Montana State University.
In his later years, Malcom C. Story would walk around downtown Bozeman in overalls, Stetson, and a brilliant plaid jacket, his mustache impeccably waxed.
The statue was designed by Jim Dolan and commissioned by the American Land Title Company in 1995, the year after Story died, to commemorate its 25th anniversary.
Malcolm C Story was born on June 12, 1902, and died on September 16, 1994 at the age 92 years old.
The Gallatin Art Crossing (G.A.C.) hosts a variety of artwork introducing viewers to many artistic approaches. The main focus of the organization is to select and place sculptures throughout the Bozeman area.
