The town of Deer Lodge (pop. 3,400) was established in 1862 as a result of a nearby gold discovery. The area offers hiking, riding, snowmobiling, cross country skiing, fishing, hunting, and golfing opportunities.
The Grant-Kohrs Ranch was established by Canadian fur trader John Grant, and expanded by cattle baron Conrad Kohrs. The site shows the history of the Western cattle industry from the 1850s to recent times. The working ranch still has livestock and more than 80 buildings from the bunkhouse row to the 23-room ranch house.
