The History of Winifred Montana 

My great grandpa’s brother, Fred March, was the shoe repairman there. Many people remember him. I just wish his store was still there. I still visit him occasionally south of town.

My grandfather homesteader in Belt and sunny side (later renamed Vaughn in 1911). Spent many hunting seasons in winnet, grass range. I love montana, from froid to st Regis. Currently reside in victor for spring and summer. I love small town montana.

Thank you , looks nice and peaceful any time .

Thank you for this wonderful video! I love my hometown and it's heritage. That's my dad, Lester J. Heller, at minute 8:57 with all the coyote hides. He loved hunting coyotes "back in the day" and that's his favorite coyote hound, a Greyhound/Irish Wolf Hound cross named “Gyp”.

I'm so proud to have moved here 40 years ago and raised our family. Winifred is truly a special place.

It is said that Nelson Story left Texas with a couple hundred head of cattle and reached Montana with thousands. As a teen in Bozeman, I got to know Mayo Story Dean, his granddaughter and she often told that story, with a gleam in her eye!!

Fred Vermeern did outstanding work of producing this expansive historical documentary on Winifred Montana. It's a wonderful story of a special town representing Americans who wanted a build a new life with opportunities. Thankfully, the town is still around and shows determination of its people and a promising future. Great American story!

My son whom is now 29 years old visits Montana, his father has a Ranch there. I never been to Montana, Looks Beautiful Though.

Used to live in Hilger and Lewistown. Many of my family buried in Lewistown.

Very well done. I did a cross country bicycle tour which included crossing Montana on the High Line. I did venture off the "beaten path" occasionally and was knocked out by the friendliness of the citizens. I am originally a New Yorker and will never get over the ruggedness required to survive in this vast landscape and what the commitment would have involved in the Homestead years. It was a complete education for an easterner like me, much more impressive than having read about sitting in the comfort of a 21st century home in the suburbs. Good Work! Lee Wolfson

Nice place wonder what the housing prices are like.

Stop in and have a beer - I did.

W e l l d o n e . Thank you.

Some one like to have a fire to get his way lol

When you say the Indians were defending our land are you sure it was their land Which tribes did they steal it from because after all that's the way that they procure their land right
