Ep. 216 - Conrad Mansion Museum
Montana is known as Big Sky Country and one tends to think of wide open spaces when picturing the state. The state was formerly part of the Louisiana Purchase and the Lewis and Clark Expedition left their mark here, literally, with Clark inscribing his name and the date on a pillar northeast of modern day Billings. Explorers, frontiersmen, miners and businessmen all flocked to Montana. One of those men was Charles Conrad. He was a pioneer, businessman and banker who founded the city of Kalispell in Montana with his own money. He built his home in Kalispell and today it is known as the Conrad Mansion Museum. The mansion is a great example of a turn of the century home in the Northwest and it is reputedly haunted. The spirits seem friendly as they belong to members of the Conrad family. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of the Conrad Mansion Museum! Moment in Oddity features mummified bodies discovered in Alps Glaciers and This Month in History features Arthur Murray coming through Ellis Island. Our location was suggested by Tammy McCaroll-Burroughs.

LEARN MORE - Montana recreational ranches for sale, near Montana's fastest growing city Bozeman, are tough to find but 1930 Montana Ranch is a perfect combination of privacy and access to recreation, as well as fine dining and cultural amenities.
Montana recreational ranches for sale have long been coveted by the nation's elite but few places represent the type of opportunity that is available at Montana Ranch.
This private, gated luxury ranch community is within 20 minute of the nation's fastest growing micropolitan community, Bozeman, Montana.

You would be hard pressed to find a better Montana recreational ranch for sale that exceeded the access to both recreation, wildlife and the cultural amenities represented by Montana Ranch.
The Gallatin River, a blue ribbon trout stream, is just 10 minutes from the ranch, Big Sky resort and America's biggest skiing is just 45 minutes away, downtown Bozeman takes about 25 minutes and Yellowstone International Airport is just 25 minutes.
This is truly a unique opportunity to own one of the best places in The Last Best Place.
The home was designed by world renowned architect Jerry Locati of Locati architects and is 6,651 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 5 1/2 bathrooms on just over 160 acres.

This Montana recreational ranch for sale directly abuts Ted Turner's large ranch of over 120,000 acres that is in a conservation easement, bordering that is the massive Lee Metcalf wilderness area and there is also 320 acres of State land to the due southeast. This all ensures that future development of any scale won't take place nearby.
Some of the great nearby attractions also include Stacy's Steakhouse, one of Montana's finest and it is just 10 minutes by car from the front door and has a real, authentic Montana feel to it.
Nearby Montana State University and the Museum of the Rockies add deep cultural dimensions to living in Bozeman. Plus, Bozeman has the fourth busiest airport in the entire western United States meaning there are tons of direct flights from a wide variety of U.S. cities.
The wildlife viewing, mountain biking, hiking, trail riding, fishing, skiing and views here are all as good as it gets. Bozeman is a very unique place with wrap around views of peaks up to 11,000 feet, yet the altitude is just 4,600 feet.
