Polson (pop. 4,593) is a trade and tourist center in Montana's fabulously beautiful Flathead Valley.
Buffalo still roam Montana's prairies at the National Bison Range, a few miles south of Polson, near the village of Moiese.
Hundreds of buffalo and numerous elk, mule deer, bighorn sheep, and mountain goats live on a 19,000 acre refuge, managed by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. The refuge is a delight for birders, too, with some 205 bird species.
In the small town of Pablo, a few miles south of Polson, on U.S. Highway 93, visitors experience Native American culture at the People's Center.
The People's Center, a venture of the Salish, Kootenai, and Pend d'Oreille Indian Nations, has a wonderful collection of artifacts, photographs, stone tools, and dance outfits. The gift shop sells works of local Native American artists.
The Flathead Valley has many superior accommodations. For lodging in polson and other cities click on the Montana.Ms site and book a room. Enjoy Polson!
