Fort Benton Historic District
Fort Benton Historic District, Historic waterfront district in Fort Benton, Montana, US.
The Fort Benton Historic District extends along Front Street from blocks 1200 to 1900, including the levee and the 1888 Fort Benton Bridge.
Established in 1846 as a fur trading post, Fort Benton became the largest inland port in the United States before railroad transportation took over.
The district contains multiple museums dedicated to the Upper Missouri region, featuring exhibits about Native American trade and frontier settlements.
Visitors can explore the Historic Old Fort, the Museum of the Upper Missouri, and access interpretive centers that detail the Lewis and Clark expedition.
The 1856 blockhouse remains as the original structure from the Fort Benton trading post, standing alongside the 1882 Grand Union Hotel.
