Still Old School in Park County
Eat
Mark's In & Out
Opened in June 1954 as Mart's. New owners in 1980 changed exactly one letter. It still opens every spring with the same burger-and-shake job.
Stay · Montana Original
Murray Hotel
It opened in 1904 as the Elite. In 1925 the family that had financed an expansion foreclosed, and the Murray name went up. That's one way to name a hotel.
Drink
The Old Saloon
Abe Armstrong's 1907 back bar is still in use. Prohibition closed the saloon, and it didn't reopen legally until St. Patrick's Day 1962, under his son Elmer. Ranch hands and Yellowstone traffic still end up at the same bar.

Memories from Park County
You're Old School Montana if... your first paycheck came from a burger window that only opened when the weather let it
You're Old School Montana if... you grew up in a railroad town and still give directions by the depot
