Textul de pe ultima copertă
In the Geographic Center of Montana sits Lewsitown, whose rich history is still reflected in today's streets. A testament to the homesteading boom at the turn of the century, Lewistown grew with the surrounding communities. A service center, rail stop, and county seat, its population tripled between 1900 and 1910, then doubled again by 1920. It was not to last. Drought and agricultural depression drove thousands of homesteaders from the land in the 1920s and 1930s; Lewistown's boom had ended. But preserved from that heady period of expansion are the exceptionally crafted business blocks, homes, churches, often built of 'Lewistown red' brick or local sandstone. This architectural heritage awaits your discovery, on the streets of Lewistown and through this lively guide.
