July 22 Day. 22 REST DAY Miles City Montana

Jim, Chris, myself and Damon got out to the trailer to sort supplies and clean things up a bit. Others came out and worked on their bikes. After that back to the museum to finish looking around. 

  This is the Montana Bar. Quite famous, established in 1893. In 1900 and for 7 years it was a saddle making establishment owned by Charles Coggshall. In 1908 James Kenny bought it and moved it next door where it still is today.it has the original Bar, Back Bar, the are partisions at the front that have a bullet hole in one pane of glass, pressed tin ceiling, paddle fans, an Italian terrazzo tile floor(that is beautiful) and also a porcelain urinal and marble - walled stall. There is more history there to read about and pictures to see. Besides that it's a cool bar and a great lunch. We are going back to dinner at the Montana Steak House beside the bar.

This long horn was a lead steer from the early 1900 trail drives from Texas to Montana.

Now the Bison Bar is next door to the Montana a little more sparse than the Montana, but they had a really neat neon sign.

This Indian and his horse were on top of a building. The building housed a hair salon called
