Fort Owen State Park, Historic trading post and settlement site in Stevensville, United States.
The one-acre state park contains a preserved east barracks building with adobe brick walls dating from the 1840s Montana territory period.
Major John Owen established this regional trade center in 1850 after purchasing the former St. Mary's Mission site from Catholic missionaries.
The site housed Montana's first Catholic church, sawmill, grist mill, and school, making it a central point for early European-American settlement.
Visitors can access the park daily from March through October between 9 AM and 6 PM, with entrance fees ranging from 4 to 8 dollars.
The remaining adobe brick structure represents the only surviving portion of what was once an extensive fortress with turrets and elevated walkways.
