LOCATION

Helena, Montana’s state capital, is located 25± minutes drive from the farm and combines an active beat of students, politics, and outdoor activities. Local events occur often and create an ambiance of community— theater and symphony, a jazz festival, concerts, rodeos, race in the Governor’s Cup, and enjoy the largest dog sled race in the lower 48 states. Helena was founded with the July 14, 1864 discovery of gold in Last Chance Gulch by four men known as “The Four Georgians.” By 1888, about 50 millionaires lived in Helena, more per capita than any city worldwide. The State Capital Building (with its distinctive gold rotunda), the Civic Center, and the Saint Helena Cathedral are among Helena’s many unique historic buildings.

Today Helena is a robust home to over 33,000 full-time residents, features quality higher education opportunities at both Carroll College and Helena College, and is the county seat of Lewis and Clark County. The valley includes excellent medical facilities, a regional airport with flights to major hubs for connections to almost anywhere, Montana state offices, Fort Harrison and a Veterans Hospital, and a variety of shopping, restaurants, performing arts, and other amenities. The Helena community features a vibrant and active business atmosphere. It offers a wonderful quality of life to the full-time and parttime residents in the Helena Valley and region.
