The Missouri River & Three Forks, MT: From Westward Expansion to a Beautiful Northwestern Treasure
In 1803, the Louisiana Purchase nearly doubled the size of the United States and expanded the country west of the Mississippi. With this expansion, President Thomas Jefferson made it a mission to officially discover and record the new western territories in order to ensure the country’s progression as a world power. Lewis and Clark were employed to explore and map out this terrain that had yet to be mapped out by settlers, and their venture led them to the discovery of the three forks of the Missouri River and what would ultimately become the beautiful town we know today as Three Forks, MT.

Moonshine in Montana: From Outrageous Outlaws to a Bona Fide Business
Moonshine is a spirit with a history as powerful as the punch it packs. When we think of the word “moonshine”, we are often transported to a time when alcohol was illegal, but that didn’t seem to stop many Americans from seeking it out. They had to have their booze by hook or by crook, and moonshine was a favorite among those whose desire for the drink was stronger than their love of the law.

The History of Great Falls, Montana
During the summer of 1805, the Lewis and Clark expedition that was sent out to map and record the landscape recently acquired by the Louisiana Purchase was temporarily foiled when they happened upon the falls of the Missouri River. Traveling upon the Missouri River via rafts, the falls posed such a huge issue to the explorers that it took them well over a month to traverse an area of fewer than 20 miles. Regardless of the wild terrain, this would serve as the setting for a central hub during the United States’ westward expansion.
