It’s National Montana Day! Take Our Treasure State Quiz

Happy National Montana Day! We don't get a day off or have a parade. But May 3 is a day to celebrate everything we love about the state we call home.

If we look up, big sky country is there day or night. The northern lights dazzle and dance at night and during the day, an azure blue paints the dome above us. But, it’s also the Yellowstone region of the states known for the big sky, its geysers, hot springs, mountain views and the most entrances into the park. One thing is for sure when it comes to Montana is its people. Whether you’re seeking dinosaurs, the history of Blackfeet or Nez Pierce, a real working ranch, the people of Montana are as genuine as the land they live on. -National Day Calendar
