Located next door to the Old Montana Prison is the auto museum. My friend and I stepped in to a large winding display of cars, which was around 150 cars on display. I had been to the Henry Ford Museum a few years ago so I knew what the “momma” of all car museums was like but I found that the Montana Auto Museum was filled with many gems. It is nice since it saves you from the long trip to Detroit!

Madison Buffalo Jump State Park - Logan Montana
On our way to Billings Montana we stopped at the Madison Buffalo Jump near Logan. As we traveled down the 7 mile long gravel road to the entrance we were treated to spectacular views of limestone cliffs that surrounded several farms. We arrived at the entrance and paid our fee of $5 to enter the park. We are from out of state, otherwise there is no fee for Montana residents
Powell County Historical Museum - Deer Lodge
Located across the street from the Old Montana Prison is the Powell County Historical Museum. My friend and I decided to take in a little more history about the area after our tour of the prison. We walked in to the Powell County Museum and were greeted by 3 people, one of them being a old counselor for the prison.
Frontier and Desert John’s Saloon Museums - Deer Lodge Montana
Located across the street from the Old Montana Prison is the Frontier and Desert John’s Saloon Museums. My friend and I visited the museum where inside we found several displays of things from the old west. Guns, weapons, spurs chaps and even a collection of Custer’s belongs were on display.
