Many tourists and new residents move to Montana to become cowboys.

Most visitors head to Bozeman, Missoula, or Whitefish, believing those are the best places to experience cowboy culture, but they would be mistaken.

Sure, there are stores, rodeos, and cowboy-related events, but are they the best places for cowboy culture in Montana?

Best Cowboy Culture Spots in Montana

Weirdly, Montana didn't have more spots on this list.

The Travel Pug posted the Top 25 Towns With The Best Cowboy Culture, and Montana had two towns make the list.

One town makes sense, and the other is a surprise.

That makes a lot of sense. Livingston is a classic cowboy town. The area hosts horse drives and has deep roots in cowboy culture.

Miles City was a pleasant surprise to land on the list.

Miles City has a massive horse auction and a Range Riders Museum.

These two towns are solid choices, but are there other Montana towns with cowboy culture?

You could name several towns in Montana, and each has a reason to land on the list.

Virginia City is an old Wild West Town, Three Forks hosts a massive rodeo, and Dillon is full of cowboys.

Are there other Montana towns that have cowboy culture?
