Attractions

Founded in 1876, Miles City is rich in history.  Almost all of our major attractions have a tie back to the history of the city.  To note just a few, the Range Riders Museum is one of the most recognized “Old West” Museums around, encompassing 13 buildings of artifacts, and local area history.  The WaterWorks Art Museum houses works of the premiere artists in the country, in the original water works facility of Miles City.  The Center’s sandstone and cement construction tells the real story of the past.  The Miles City Academy, formerly Ursuline Convent, as well as our Historic Main Street and Residential Districts, act as a draw to the visitors of Miles City.

Photo of Bucking Horse Sale

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the 2020 World Famous Miles City Bucking Horse Sale is cancelled due to COVID-19. It is not a decision that comes easily for the MCBHS Board of Governors. It was made considering the guidelines set by federal, state and local authorities and our concern for the health and welfare of our friends, neighbors, and community. We have been very fortunate in our area of Montana, in that, the presence of the virus is very minimal at this time, and we all need to do what we can to keep it from spreading.
As a community oriented non-profit, the World Famous Miles City Bucking Horse Sale is proud this would have been the 70th anniversary of Miles City’s “Cowboy Mardi Gras”, and the fact, we are breaking a string of 70 years of a Miles City Bucking Horse Sale is not lost on us. Most of our all-volunteer Board of Governors are owners or
employees of Miles City businesses or Miles City based employers, so be sure we are all aware of the economic
impact our event has on our local economy. While we understand cancelling the 2020 MCBHS is taking away
financial opportunities from multiple Miles City businesses and citizens, we believe the health and safety of
everyone is paramount.
We, also, appreciate ALL of the fans of the MCBHS who come to Miles City every year, participating and supporting our event! Your health is very much on our minds and weighed heavily in our decision to cancel this year’s event.

All 2020 refunds for ticket purchases, sponsors and exhibitors will be processed in a timely manner. All online ticket sales will be refunded to the funding source used to buy them originally.
The entire MCBHS Board of Governors would like to, again, express our sincerest thanks and to support us. The fact we had already sold tickets to people in 19 different states and Canada is a tribute to our fan base.

Thank you for your understanding our difficult decision. We look forward to the seeing you all next year! Remember to “save the date” for the third weekend of May 2021! Until then, stay healthy and take good care!

Cattle roundup at Fort Keogh Livestock and Range Research Station in 2002

 

The mission of this unit is to develop ecologically and economically sustainable range animal management systems that meet consumers’ needs. Agriculture is the business of capturing solar energy and transferring it to humankind for their use (i.e., food and fiber), and grazing of rangelands is one of the most sustainable forms of agriculture known. Research focus is on developing profitable management tactics that enhance the efficiency whereby solar energy is captured by the forage resource and subsequently harvested and assimilated by grazing animals into highly desirable agricultural products.

Info

Fort Keogh
The Fort Keogh Livestock and Range Research Lab supports the American livestock Industry by improving the efficiency of livestock production and the nutritional value of beef. This research helps keep the price of beef stays low for U.S. consumers and helps keep ranching and farmer sustainable.

Military History – Fort Keogh was established by Congress as an Army Calvary post on July 22, 1876, approximately one month after the Battle of the Little Bighorn. The 100 section (64,000 acres) Fort was named after Captain Myles Keogh, an adjutant to General Custer at the Battle. The initial commander of Fort Keogh was General Nelson Miles for whom Miles City is named.

In 1907, all infantry troops were withdrawn from the Fort and in 1909 it was designated a Remount Station. Reportedly, more horses were processed at Fort Keogh than any other Remount Station during World War I. The Army relinquished the land in 1922 and following the complete withdrawal of all military personnel in 1924, Congress transferred Fort Keogh to the U.S. Department of Agriculture for the purpose of conducting agricultural research. The date of transfer was April 15, 1924. For a more detailed treatment of the Fort Keogh’s military history, we recommend reading Josef Warhank’s unpublished California State University Masters of Arts thesis entitled Fort Keogh: Cutting Edge of a Culture available on our website.

Research History – The earliest research at Fort Keogh focused on animal genetics and range management. At one time the Fort maintained purebred herds/flocks of Rambouillet ewes, Belgian, Morgan and Thoroughbred horses, Bronze turkeys, Milking Shorthorn cattle, Wiltshire Side hogs, and Hereford cattle. Gradually, the sheep, horse, turkey, milk cow, and hog research was phased out with the last to go being the hog research in 1986. Today, the animal research herd is restricted to beef cattle and includes research conducted in three broad disciplines; genetics, reproductive physiology, and nutrition.

The earliest range research began in the 1930’s under the direction of the U.S. Forest Service. This pioneering research focused on establishing “safe” winter and summer stocking rates for the Northern Great Plains. Today, the range management research is conducted in three broad disciplines; rangeland ecology, plant ecophysiology, and animal nutrition.

Resources – The Fort currently consists of about 55,000 acres of which about 50,000 acres are native rangeland, 2,500 acres are dryland planted pasture, 1,000 acres are irrigated pasture, and 700 acres are irrigated cropland. The remaining 800 acres are the headquarters area, corrals, etc. We have about 400 miles of fence and 220 miles of roads and trails.

The irrigated farming operation produces about 3,500 T of alfalfa hay, 5,000 T of corn silage, 7,500 bushels of barley grain, 150 T of sorghum sudan hay, plus an assortment of barley straw and grass hays. All farm products are used for livestock feed.

The beef cow herds consists of about 250 Line 1 Herefords, the oldest and purest line of Herefords in the world; 400 CGC’s, a composite gene combination herd consisting of 50% Red Angus, 25% Tarentaise, and 25% Charolais; and about 750 mixed breeds cows. We have a modern 40,000 bushel feed mill and two feedlots that can accommodate about 1,000 head of growing cattle.

The Fort Keogh staff consists of 22 USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) employees and 20 Montana Agricultural Experiment Station (MAES) employees plus 5 – 10 seasonal employees. The scientists and most of the technicians are ARS employees whereas the outside cowboy, farm, and maintenance crews are MAES employees. There are 8 scientists; 2 geneticists, 2 reproductive physiologists, 1 range animal nutritionist, and 3 rangeland scientists. In addition, we have a Montana State Extension Service Beef Cattle Extension Specialist office at Fort Keogh.

Administration – Administration is a cooperative venture between the ARS and MAES in that ARS owns the land, facilities, and most of the equipment and MAES owns the livestock.  Funding for the operation is through federal USDA appropriations and the sale of livestock. No State of Montana funds are used at Fort Keogh other than those funds realized from the sale of livestock. As ARS Research Leader, I have a MAES courtesy appointment of Superintendent.

The 1878 view of Miles City was painted by Hermann Stieffel, Soldier Artist of the West, a Private in Company K of the 5th Infantry at Fort Keogh.

When General Nelson Miles selected the permanent site for Fort Keogh, steam-boats began arriving with supplies for the new Fort and the community.   The civilians moved to the east bank of the Tongue River, clustered around the Ferry Landing, which is now Riverside Park.

This is the view that Pvt. Stieffel, depicts in his watercolor, “A Soldier’s View”.  Although he was not a trained artist, the details in his paintings give us a view of life in the frontier west.

The original is located in the Forbush Memorial Library in Westminster, Mass., hometown of General Miles.

Steiffel Mural

The 8’ x 14’ mural, “A Soldier’s View”, is hung on the backside of the Riverside Park Lion’s Shelter, facing what was the Ferry Landing on the Tongue River, before it was re-channeled in 1907.

Photo of Miles City Academy (Ursuline Convent)

With the formation of a Fort at Miles City and the families migrating west, the Ursuline Nuns from Toledo, Ohio, responded to the request by Bishop Brondel to start a safe place for the children to attend school, and also help start a school for the Cheyenne Indians. Some of the ranches around Custer County, which was originally four counties combined, were very scattered, with no schoolhouses or teachers. It was decided to erect a building in Miles City, where the nuns could teach children, and also board them, as most came from the ranches.

The original 1884 school was located on the south side of town and burned in 1897. In 1902 the townsfold, with the aid of the Catholic Church, gathered donations and had plans drawn up for a new brick building at least three stories high. It took 3-4 years to build the present Convent, with its beautifully carved woodwork and fancy windows. The stately structure is a work of art for those early times, and most would appreciate a tour of such and old building, which can be arranged. There is no charge to view the convent’s history room, the fancy parlor, music rooms, and community meeting rooms, which were originally classrooms. There is also a small Chapel, with a tower to the 2nd floor. The Ursuline Convent is a beautiful monument to early settlers of Miles City, now maintained by third and fourth generations.

Tongue River Vineyard, approximately 2 acres in size, is the only commercial vineyard  in Montana east of Missoula.   Our first grapes were planted in 2004 and we plant some every year.  Our half-century of gardening have helped in the vineyard, and Bob’s half century of wine making have helped in the winery.  We grow mostly University of Minnesota grape varieties, but are experimenting with others that might prove hardy enough for our northern climate.

We are proud  and active members of the North Dakota Grape and Wine Association, and also participants with the emerging Montana grape growers association and the South Dakota association.  We purchase some fruit from North Dakota and Wyoming to supplement what we are able to find in Montana

We also grow apples, pears, cherries, raspberries, elderberries and other fruits. We opened for business in October of 2010 and produce approximately 2000 gallons of wine yearly— red and white, sweet and dry, grape and fruit wines and unusual blends.  In 2003 we will be picking our first crop of haskaps (edible honeysuckle fruit) and Carmine Jewel cherries.  Both were developed at the University of Saskatchewan, are 5-6 foot shrubs when mature, hardy to -50°F!  We have the nets up and expect a good crop of both of them.

P7090090

Our desire is not to compete with California or the other western states in making European wines, but to create quality wines which have their own style, flavor and bouquet made from fruit which lives comfortably (with care…) in the frigid winters & hotter’n hell summers of southeast Montana.

If you wish to contact us, you can call Bob at 406-853-1028, Marilyn at 406-853-1651 or Josh at 406-850-8325

The Art Center’s permanent collection is comprised of two groups of objects and images relevant to this mountain-plains region, the historical collection and the contemporary collection.  The historical collection represents the prior and early Montana statehood years; this includes Native American, immigrant settlers and city builders prior to the 1950’s.  The contemporary collection begins with the “Early Modernists” of the region from the mid-1900’s through the present.

L.A. Huffman arrived at the new Fort Keogh, Montana Territory in 1879 to take over the “post photographer” position. Miles City became his adopted home until his death in 1931. Huffman made a business of capturing and printing images of the “this last west” frontier that popularized these images across and beyond the continent.

From the inside, circa 1910 concrete vaults of the WaterWorks Galleries give the Custer County Art & Heritage Center the look of a contemporary urban exhibition space. Located in the southeast corner of Montana, Miles City, with a population of under 10,000 citizens, is anything but urban. Since opening in 1977, 10,000 square feet of space has been renovated for exhibitions and education programs. As a cultural leader in southeastern Montana, the Center is a nonprofit organization guided by a philosophy of public service. Our mission is to provide, free of charge, high quality, interpretative exhibits in the visual arts and humanities; educational opportunities and informational services for the general public, schools and civic groups; and proper management of and accessibility to exhibited visual artworks, including the Center’s permanent collection, held in public trust.
