Set in the foothills of four mountain ranges, in a valley rich with riverbeds and pristine trout fisheries, Bozeman, Montana is distinctively different. Bozeman balances small-town charm with enriching offerings more characteristic of a larger, metropolitan area. Farmers, ranchers, university students, artists, world-class researchers, outdoor adventurers, culture enthusiasts, and entrepreneurs all contribute to making Bozeman an “All American City”.
From the wagon train miners of the 1860s to today’s entrepreneurs, Bozeman’s location continues to attract people seeking economic opportunity. Bozeman has experienced exponential growth and continues as a leader in the state in agriculture, tourism, and education. Established in 1893 as Montana’s land grant college, Montana State University educates over 16,000 students annually and is the home of the world-renowned Museum of the Rockies. The National Register of Historic Places lists nine historic districts in Bozeman including Downtown’s Main Street. A modern-day stroll down Main Street presents an eclectic mix of more than 100 shops, coffee bars, restaurants, and art galleries all housed in turn-of-the-century buildings of architectural significance. Please visit ERA Landmark’s Main Street location at 8 East Main for additional information on Main Street’s historical buildings, restaurant recommendations, and upcoming cultural events.
The art and cultural scenes in Bozeman are as varied as the town itself. Home to many talented artists and writers, Bozeman hosts the Bozeman Symphony, Montana Ballet Company, Intermountain Opera, several theatre groups, and the Sweet Pea Festival. The recreational elements of this area feature proximity to Yellowstone National Park with thousands of Gallatin National Forest acreage in the immediate surrounding area.
Bozeman has a wonderful trail system that links walkers and bikers from Main Street literally to the Mountains. Anglers and boaters share pristine waters with hundreds of miles of river to enjoy. Hikers, bikers, and equestrian enthusiasts all benefit from the plethora of multi-use trails in the vicinity. Golfing is gaining in popularity with many private and public courses. Winter sports also offer something for everyone: skiing Bridger Bowl just 16 miles northeast of town, Big Sky Resort just 50 miles southwest, ice climbing area waterfalls, or Nordic skiing and snowshoeing.
