Wibaux Montana

Put Wibaux at the top of your travel itinerary when you travel to Montana from the east on Interstate 94. This 'Gateway to Montana' community has a state visitor center with all the information you will need to complete your plans for a wonderful vacation in Montana.

The Visitor Information Center provides for an introduction to the area and its history. Maps, travel brochures, photographs, video tapes and a friendly staff answer your questions about what there is to do and see all across Montana.

The Pierre Wibaux House Museum provides visitors with farm and household exhibits of early settlers and Indian artifacts. The museum also includes an old-fashioned barbershop, livery stable, a railroad caboose, and old-fashioned gardens.

The Centennial Car Museum, a railroad car, which was on display at the World's Fair in New York City in 1964, houses a number of artifacts and unusual displays.

Another distinctive building is the Saint Peter's Catholic Church with its stained glass and lava rock exterior, built in 1885.

It looks like just a small stream, but Beaver Creek, which flows through Wibaux, has produced some big fish, including walleye and northern pike in excess of 10 pounds. Catfish and bullheads also can be caught in the creek, while panfish and trout are found in many area farm ponds. A public pond with picnic area is located on the edge of the city limits on MT Highway 7 south.

A blend of badlands and rolling hills offers fine photography or hunting trophies in mule deer, whitetail deer and antelope. Upland game birds also are plentiful in some parts of the country. Deer, wild turkeys, beavers and a wide variety of songbirds are frequently spotted — sometimes right in town!..Wibaux doesn't have any snow in July and Beaver Creek is too narrow for water skiing. But the community is still planning its annual eastern Montana 'Ski Festival.' The slightly offbeat festivities celebrate the large number of Polish settlers in the area whose names end in 'ski' as well as the 'Nor skis,' Germans and other ethnic groups who developed Wibaux County. In addition to a parade, polka music and a Polish barbecue, the festival includes games such as mechanical surfing. Youngsters enjoy an inflatable giant pillow jump. A ranch rodeo with events mirroring work actually done on area ranches is held during the 'Ski Festival.' Visitors are welcome to join the fun...Elevation: 2,634 feet
