Fort Benton Montana Walking Tour - 4K City Walks - Virtual Travel Walking Treadmill Walk

We were traveling around the wonderfully open and expansive Central Montana and Missouri River country and I found time to squeeze in a walk in the historic Fort Benton. It's such a great town. Fort Benton, MT was the furthest navigable point along the Missouri River and in the 1800's it was known as the busiest inland port in the world, something like 3000 miles from the ocean. We start out on the footbridge across the river and see the cottonwoods are beginning to change color in the late afternoon light. We walk over to the Grand Union hotel, a luxurious 19th century hotel still operating today. We see the statue of Shep and make our way back down main street past shops and restaurants to the Old Fort Benton historical museum, then through a residential area to the Museum of the Upper Great Plains and an Agricultural Museum before heading back downtown. Let us know what you think!
