Trip Planner
At just under half a square mile, Fromberg may be small, but it’s packed with personality. This town doesn’t take itself too seriously — except when it comes to its community pride.
History buffs will appreciate the Clark’s Fork Valley Museum, featuring a restored Northern Pacific railroad depot, a one-room doctor’s office and a classic homesteader cabin. Buildings from around the area have been relocated to the museum grounds, creating a walkable patchwork of Fromberg’s past.
Adventure seekers head to Cooney Reservoir in the summer for water recreation and starry skies. In winter, Red Lodge Mountain is under an hour away, offering that no-frills, just-right Montana skiing experience.
Drop into Leather Legends, a true Fromberg icon. Marge Taylor’s handcrafted leather chaps and custom work are as authentic as they come. Then grab a bite at 45 North Bar & Grill, where hearty meals, signature cocktails and small-town hospitality make it a favorite local hangout.
Just 10 miles southeast of town, the Bluewater Fish Hatchery makes for a peaceful roadside stop. Named after the spring’s signature blue hue, it’s open every day from dawn to dusk.
Fromberg doesn’t have a signature annual event yet — but with a museum full of heritage, a haunted bar waiting in the wings and locals with plenty of stories to tell, you never know what might pop up.
