e Levee Walk along the Missouri River
provides a walking history lesson where signs
line the path with historical facts about Fort
Benton. You can walk across the Mighty Mo
on the Old Bridge, originally built in 1888 and
was the very first bridge to span the Missouri in
Montana. To appease one's appetite for history
there are four museums to choose from—
Historic Old Fort Benton, Museum of the
Northern Great Plains, Museum of the Upper
Missouri, and the BLM Interpretive Center.
There is no disappointing view in this
charming river town.
The Old Fort Benton Bridge was originally built as a
toll bridge and was the first to span the Missouri River
in Montana. Today, it's historic charm is shared as a
walking bridge with strategically placed benches that
welcome visitors to sit a spell and enjoy the view.
