Steeped in Western history, Miles City remains a true-west
town. Vast stretches of plains and badlands branch out
in all directions. The Yellowstone and Tongue rivers
flow unblemished in long sections. Once the horse trading
and livestock center of the country, Miles City still
has weekly livestock auctions and, once a year, puts
on the Bucking Horse Sale for rodeo stock buyers and
breeders. The Range Riders Museum features an extensive
collection of western artifacts, including over 400
guns. Classic cars, wagons and restored old farm equipment
are in good supply. The town features a complete 1950s
era main street, 1930s era high school and an authentically
refurbished early 1900s saloon.
