Bozeman lies in one of the fastest growing areas of Montana. Lying in the beautiful Gallatin Valley, Bozeman has been attracting numerous new residents over the past two decades. People are drawn to Bozeman primarily by its location in this very scenic area of Montana. The towns location near three major ski areas and its proximity to Yellowstone National Park have combined to make Bozeman a gateway for people moving to Montana. Additionally, Bozeman was also one of the first areas of the state to have a mass of summer homes and trophy homes built in the area.

Of course, Bozeman is much more than summer and trophy homes. Bozeman boasts small town ambience while providing larger city selection and opportunity. Whether you're a fly-fisherman looking for an outfitter, an art critic looking for some great art galleries, shopping for clothes or just in the mood for sampling restaurants, downtown Bozeman is the place to be.

Bozeman also has a very young feel about it, a reflection of its large contingent of college students. Anyone walking down the streets in downtown will see hordes of college students, frequently with their dogs. Yet, Bozeman is hardly a rowdy college town. Instead, for a college town, Bozeman is pretty laid back and relaxed, most likely owing to its location where the party is often played out in the great outdoors.

Many of Bozeman's neighborhoods and parks still have the feel of a sleepy college town with frat houses and quaint, comfortable homes. The downtown area features a main street with rows of turn-of-the-century buildings. The town of Bozeman is ringed by majestic peaks and steep canyons, a starting point for connections to the Gallatin Canyon and Yellowstone National Park.

Bozeman is an important winter recreation area with two major ski areas nearby. Bridger Bowl is located 16 miles northwest of town and Big Sky Ski and Summer Resort is 45 miles south.

Coffrin's Old West Gallery houses the fine collection of photographs by Montana's famous frontier photographer, L. A. Huffman. Huffman came to Montana Territory in 1878 to become post photographer at Fort Keogh, and later opened a studio in Miles City. This collection of photos is a magnificent pictorial history of that era from the last of the Indian Wars through the coming of the railroad and finally the cattleman. Reproductions made from Huffman negatives are marketed worldwide.

The Museum of the Rockies is on the Montana State University campus and houses a planetarium, paleontology, ethnology, and a history section, an auditorium, an enclosed courtyard, and objects of historic and cultural importance from the northern Rocky Mountains. Displays include dinosaurs and dinosaur eggs unearthed in Montana, Plains Indian artifacts, pioneer exhibits, Western art and "hands on" exhibits such as a two-story log homestead house, built in 1889 in Willow Creek and moved some 30 miles to the museum site.
