HISTORIC WALKING TOUR

Take a step back in time on a historic walking tour of Bozeman. Over 40 individual properties are listed on the National Historic Register, and there are nine historical districts; the Bon Ton Historic District, the Bozeman Brewery Historic District, the Cooper Park Historic District, the Lindley Place Historic District, the Main Street Historic District, the North Tracy Avenue Historic District, the Northern Pacific-Story Mill Historic District, the South Tracy Avenue Historic District, and South Tracy-South Black Historic District.

• Historic Neighborhoods

  

  Bozeman’s Historic Neighborhood Walking Tour is recommended for those who wish to look at everything from upright farmhouses to Victorian mansions. You’ll see how much of the historic architecture of Bozeman can be characterized within a builder’s tradition, rather than a certain architectural style.

• Historic Downtown Tour

  

  Bozeman’s Historic Main Street Walking Tour is recommended for those who wish to walk through the past or just take a leisurely stroll down Main Street. Many will appreciate the subtle difference between Art Deco, Italianate and Mission Revival architecture. Others will enjoy neon signs. But nearly everyone will appreciate the revolving yellow horse. Tradition and change. It’s all part of the attraction of downtown Bozeman.

• Historic Cemetery Tour

  

  When the wealthy “Lord” and “Lady” Blackmore left England to tour the West, they agreed that if either should die on their travels, they would simply be laid to rest where they perished. Unfortunately, the beautiful socialite Mary Blackmore fell ill in Bozeman and died in General Lester Willson’s home. William Blackmore bought five acres to bury Mary, and donated the land to the town for use as a cemetery.
