- This documentary explores the deep history of Winifred, Montana dating back to the 1800's. Located in Central Montana at the end of the road so to speak, the Winifred Area is home to many large ranches with descendants of the original fur traders and homesteaders. The development of the Transcontinental Railroad across Montana was instrumental in bringing homesteaders to Winifred.

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.
Enjoy it while you can....
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.
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!
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”.
Mary, I know your family, ran around with your brother Dan and even helped pick spuds with your Dad, he was a good guy, really liked Lester. Oh I am Don Newell
Thank you , looks nice and peaceful any time .
I'm so proud to have moved here 40 years ago and raised our family. Winifred is truly a special place.
My son whom is now 29 years old visits Montana, his father has a Ranch there. I never been to Montana, Looks Beautiful Though.
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!!
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!

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
The same people that say we were invaders and took over the land , are the same ones saying open the borders
