ABOUT BAKER, MONTANA

Baker (population 1,800) is located in eastern Montana near the North Dakota and South Dakota borders. Baker is at the edge of the badlands and is equal distance between Billings, MT, Rapid City, SD or Bismarck, ND. No matter which direction you look in Baker, you will see stretches of scenery painted with golden fields and sandstone, arched horizon to horizon with the big, beautiful, blue sky. Drive 25 miles south of Baker to see Medicine Rocks State Park. You'll understand why dinosaur bones have been found near Baker when you see the honey-combed sandstone rock formations, carved by time, water, and wind. The Montana Fish Wildlife and Park campground at the park is open year round and offers camping for trailers up to 20 feet. Let your mind wander; you can imagine how the Indians lived, or what hardships the first explorers, trappers, and settlers must have faced.

O'Fallon Historical Museum in Baker will fill in the details that your imagination may have left out. The story of fashion is exhibited on mannequins wearing clothes and accessories of the past. The full-size taxidermy mount of the 3,980-pound steer, Montana, dwarfs visitors who come to view him. Volunteers will give you directions to one of the many tipi rings in the area, or point out to you the wagon ruts left by some of the original wagon trains that came through Montana.
