Custer Country has a lot of museums covering art, history and paleontology. Each one offers a glimpse into the past and a view of the present. Some even give us prognosticators’ ideas of the future.
We are also pleased to have a number of great displays of prehistoric animals and birds along with theories of how and why the huge behemoths existed and died in our areas. Such facilities as the Carter County Museum (www.CarterCountyMuseum-ekalaka.org) in Ekalaka and the Makoshika Dinosaur Museum (www.makoshika.com) in Glendive offer what many consider the traditional view of paleontology. Both are members of the Montana Dinosaur Trail (www.mtdinotrail.org) .
However, one of Custer Country’s newest museums is also in Glendive. The Glendive Dinosaur and Fossil Museum (www.creationtruth.com) offers a different look at paleontology than you might have been exposed to in the past. The museum is a faith-based organization that ties Biblical scripture to the existence of dinosaurs and their place in geological time.
Before visiting any of these sites, be sure and check their websites for seasonal times of operation.

February is the month when Cupid’s arrows are said to be flying at a particularly high frequency. Love is in the air and folks are looking for a way to show their love and affection for significant others. Let me make some suggestions.
“A jug of wine, a loaf of bread, and thou…,” so the line goes. Why not take your beloved out to one of Custer Country’s great restaurants for a big Montana steak? Throw in dessert and you’ll be the apple of his or her eye for a long time to come. Check out the Custer Country Vacation Guide for a list of restaurants in your area. Don’t have a guide? Check the lobby of any nearby motel or hotel, or check with your local Chamber. Still can’t find one? You can always order one from our website www.CusterCountry.com .
Maybe something more tangible is what you have in mind? Visit one of the many stores in Custer Country that specialize in Montana Made gifts and Grown in Montana foods. Visit http://www.custercountry.com/paidlinkshopping.html for a list of businesses who sell the best of Montana, including pottery, jewelry and Native American crafts. These are sure winners in the battle to win the heart of the one you love.
Of course, many of the hotels and motels in Custer Country will be offering room specials for those who need a break from the kids for a couple of days. Check the Custer Country Vacation Guide or go to http://www.custercountry.com/paidlinkplacetostay.html for a list of places that might have an especially romantic time planned out for you.
Whatever you do, make sure you pay some special attention to the special person in your life on February 14. You’ll be glad you did.
