From Havre to Hi-Line

Around here, locals call it the Hi-Line—but others may know it as US Hwy 2. And hidden along its rolling hills and vast mountain views are some of Montana’s most hidden gems: historic battlefields, secret fishing holes, museums vibrant with story. Havre may be the largest community on the Hi-Line, but it’s the quiet stops along the way that bring its history and character to life. Find yourself off the beaten path in Havre.

Fort Assinniboine

Step onto the grounds of Fort Assinniboine, Montana's grandest military post—still standing today. Built in 1879 and home to nearly 750 soldiers and officers, this iconic red-brick fort was a buzzing hub of frontier life. Wander historic buildings, trace stories of military strategy, or go on a deep dive of the early days with one of their amazing guides.

Bear Paw Battlefield

A place of beauty and deep remembrance, Bear Paw Battlefield marks the final conflict of the Nez Perce War of 1877. Explore the interpretive trail and take in the landscape as you reflect on Chief Joseph’s surrender and the enduring resilience of his people.
