Visit Montana, the home of the first U.S. Congresswoman

[Ptah]

Montana has several nicknames, none official,[4] including: "Big Sky Country" and
"The Treasure State", and slogans that include "Land of the Shining Mountains"
and more recently, "The Last Best Place".

The region that became Glacier National Park was first inhabited by Native Americans
and upon the arrival of European explorers, was dominated by the Blackfeet in the east
and the Flathead in the western regions. Soon after the establishment of the park on
May 11, 1910, a number of hotels and chalets were constructed by the Great Northern Railway.
These historic hotels and chalets are listed as National Historic Landmarks, and a total of
350 locations are on the National Register of Historic Places.

By 1932, work was completed on the Going-to-the-Sun Road, later designated a
National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark, which provided greater accessibility
for automobiles into the heart of the park.

Montana in 1916 became the first state to elect a woman to
Congress (Jeannette Rankin) (Republican) and was one of the
first states to give women voting rights (see suffrage).

Rankin was born on a ranch near Missoula, Montana Territory, the first of
eleven children born to John Rankin, a rancher and builder who had immigrated
from Canada, and Olive Pickering, a Yankee who was a former schoolteacher.

1. Very pretty place.

2. The real treasure of the state is its people. There's a level of "niceness" in Montana that I

really think exceeds anywhere else.
