Belt, Montana is on the United States’ National Register of Historic Places, the nation’s list of heritage properties worthy of preservation, and includes the Belt Commercial Historic District. As you explore Belt, look for interpretive markers to learn more about its history and architecture.

Becoming

Belt gets its unusual name from nearby Belt Butte, a mountain with a belt of rocks encircling it. The Highwood Mountains and Little Belt Mountains offer a number of hiking and biking opportunities, including Sluice Boxes State Park, where Belt Creek slices through Belt Creek Canyon.

Annual Rodeo

Belt hosts an annual rodeo, one of the most popular in Montana, spanning three days and attracting competitors from across the west. The annual Belt PRCA Rodeo features saddle and bareback bronc riding, team and tie down roping, steer wrestling, bull riding and women’s barrel racing.

Beer in Belt

Settled as a coal camp by Finnish and Slavic immigrants, today Belt is better known for its beer than its coal. In the heart of Montana’s grain country, and kept lush by wells and streams supplying some of the world’s finest water, it comes as little surprise that Belt has attracted the attention of makers of fine craft beers. In their beers at Harvest Moon Brewery, they’ve captured the pure, fresh essence of the Belt area. Be sure to check it out!
