Bozeman, a frontiersman who founded the town in 1864, Bozeman is one of the fastest-growing small cities in the country. Once you spend a little time here, it’s not hard to understand why. One of the things that makes Bozeman such an attractive place to live is the way that it effortlessly blends the relaxed, friendly vibe of a smaller town with the cosmopolitan appeal of a larger metropolis. An average day might see you rubbing shoulders with local farmers, accomplished artists, successful business owners and cultural influencers - as well as plenty of students and families. Beautiful Bozeman: an “All-American City” Outdoor Activities Those in the mood for outdoor adventure won’t be disappointed: Bozeman benefits from a prime location at the foot of several mountain ranges, with miles of river nearby and Yellowstone National Park just an hour and a half away. Whether your idea of a workout is a leisurely stroll or bike ride along the city’s comprehensive trail system, a day of fishing, a challenging hike or heart-pounding skiing, snowboarding or ice climbing, you’ll find it here. Bridger Bowl in particular is a must-visit for winter sports lovers, and is only 16 miles away from downtown Bozeman. Cultural and Community Attractions Bozeman is home to Montana State University, as well as the world-famous Museum of the Rockies, which is part of the University and is also affiliated with the Smithsonian Institution. Visitors of all ages will marvel at the exhibits here, including the largest collection of dinosaur remains in the country. Other cultural points of interest include the Bozeman Symphony and Montana Ballet Company - not to mention a wealth of eclectic art galleries with everything from contemporary mixed-media pieces to photography and sculpture. Shopping, Dining and Entertainment Downtown Bozeman’s historic Main Street features an array of places to shop, eat, drink and explore. Sip a cup of coffee before or after a day spent browsing one-of-a-kind boutiques or attending one of the community’s year-round events. You can also head to the Bozeman Farmers Market (held at Lindley Park in the summer and at the Gallatin Valley Fairgrounds in the winter) for fresh meat, produce, flowers and more.
