Downtown Harlowton Montana
It was a pleasure to end our long road trip day in Harlowton Montana. The town is truly charming and so historic! I just love how many historic buildings remain standing in town, each one so amazing and unique. Please enjoy the history of this wonderful town which was such a prominent stop on the Milwaukee road.
"The city was once the eastern terminus of electric operations (1914–74) of the Milwaukee Road railroad's "Pacific Extension" route, which went all the way to Avery, Idaho. Here, steam or diesel locomotives were changed or hooked up to electric locomotives. Harlowton was founded in 1900 as a station stop on the Montana Railroad, a predecessor to the Milwaukee, and was named for Richard A. Harlow, the Montana Railroad's president." -wikipedia.com
