Former Meat Man: Went to the Museum of the Rockies today in Bozeman.
It was wonderful.
3 hours was like 5 minutes.
Unbelievable dinosaur bone/ history display.
b1-66er: I'm medium sure I've never even heard of it...
... Please tell me more.
FMM: This museum probably has 95% dinosaur fossils from Montana. It is on the Smithsonian rotation for some other cool displays also.
One on the Vikings with artifacts from the 7-8 th century.
I'm enamored with history and the development of the Western half of this country.
I grew up in a small town in Western Iowa that was started in 1869. Only because that's when the train finally made it up to that area.
b1: Yes.
The American West is mostly about either: the rail expansion, or the Mexican withdrawal.
FMM: There were a lot of people there; but a well managed flow.
It is operated by Montana State University.
There was a decent supply of college age kids working that were efficient.
