Montana’s oil landscape was featured in a recent blog post.

Center staff and students work on a broad array of projects in numerous locales throughout the year. To highlight and share this work, the CHP offers two blogs: Revisiting Montana’s Historic Landscapes: 30 Years in Big Sky Country and Southern Rambles: With the Center for Historic Preservation . 

Revisiting Montana’s Historic Landscapes shares the decades of work that CHP director Dr. Carroll Van West has done documenting the Montana landscape. This blog is the Center’s most-visited digital platform and exemplifies the national scope of the CHP’s work.
