Feb 26 – On this day in Montana
history in 1912 the Livingston Daily Enterprise was writing about the new town
of Wilsall as “a busy town with big prospects.” “People here seem very much
interested in the new town and are not very well acquainted with it,” the paper
noted. It wrote about the area’s rich farm land and its role as the terminus of
the Northern Pacific branch road out of Livingston. In 1968 Wilsall was put on
the world map when an extraordinary archaeological find of 13,000-year-old stone
tools was discovered near the town. The tools are now on exhibit at the Montana
Historical Society.
