Fort Benton offers you genuine small town friendliness. As you stroll down the levee and Front Street, you will find friendly people and inviting shops filled with everything a persons needs for their stay.

Frontier history comes alive in Fort Benton...let your imagination carry you away as you walk along the Steamboat Levee. Lewis & Clark & The Corp of Discovery walked on this same river bank almost two hundred years ago. Or Imagine of the sight of a dozen steamboats docked along the levee and the noise and clamor as their freight is loaded onto oxen trains soon bound for points through out the Northwest.
