But there is more than this and more than most people imagine for a city of our size.
History is alive and abundant in Bozeman.
Evidence of Bozeman's unique local heritage can be found throughout the city. Bozeman now has eight historical districts and more than 40 individual properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Tribal bands including the Shoshone, Nez Perce, Blackfeet, Flathead and Sioux, date back several hundred years. The area was rich with game, water and plants used by the natives. Lewis and Clark top Europeans may have entered the valley in the late 1700s as they searched and trapped for beaver pelts to send back East for hats and coats.
