Table of Contents
| 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 | |
