No trip through Montana is complete without a tour of the new Dinosaur Field Station in Malta, an actual dinosaur preparation station on the edge of the western frontier. Watch scientists as they work on incredibly well-preserved dinosaurs of northeastern Montana, such as 'Leonardo', a rare dinosaur mummy listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the 'best preserved dinosaur ever discovered.'
The Dinosaur Field Station also offers lectures, educational programs and a unique gift store with a variety of special gifts and souvenirs for all ages. The gift shop offers everything from choice one-of-a-kind items like locally made Montana sapphire jewelry to books, puzzles, puppets and exclusive 'Leonardo' momentos and clothing.
Just down the street you'll find the Phillips County Museum, an excellent stop for Western History buffs of all ages. Displays on early outlaws, Native American history, gold mining and pioneer days, as well as stage coaches and old cars, it is a must-see for this area. Stroll down the flower-lined walks of the historic Robinson House next door, an early 1900s house that has been brought back to life as it was in its glory days.
