Livingston, Montana
Located in south-central Montana, Livingston rests in a lovely valley surrounded by the astounding Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness Area, the Gallatin and Crazy Mountains. Livingston sits below the first canyon of the Yellowstone River. Making the area not only a beautiful place to live but providing a thoroughfare for visitors to the park.
Founded in 1882 by the Northern Pacific railroad, Livingston remains the original entrance to Yellowstone National Park. Vehicles enjoy travel through Yellowstone to Cooke City year around. Visitors drive to Roosevelt Lodge and into the Lamar Valley to watch wildlife and enjoy the serenity of nature. In addition to abundant recreational space Livingston also hosts a prolific film, writer and artist colony; two live community theatres with shows year around; western eclectic shopping in 100+ year old antique shops and boutiques; a historical walking tour through blocks of period buildings. You may recognize it from movies such as “A River Runs Through It.” Important area industries are tourism, agricultural, lumbering, railroading, fishing and hunting.
