2 Reviews & Comments About Great Falls
One of my sisters and her family live in Great Falls and I have cousins in Montana as well. I've been there in the summer and the winter and have loved both. I grew up in Minnesota, lived in Massachusetts, and now live in Pennsylvania. Montana is my dream. I get there every few years and next year am taking my wife, who has never been there. I may never get to live there but when I die my ashes will be spread in the mountains there!
"My family have lived in Montana since the about 1880. Uncle Charlie Babcock came here as an Indian trader. not that he traded Indians, but then maybe he did. After uncle Charlie came his nephew Albert Stevenson who founded the town of Lodge Grass, where I grew up. Montana has the big sky and lots of open space. On can ride horseback for miles and never see anyone, just like when this earth was created. One can stop and go skinny dipping in the Little Bighorn just for the fun of it. It hasn't changed since Custer lost his battle with the Indians.
We live in Great Falls now and enjoy fishing and canoeing on the Mighty Missouri.
