This Fascinating Montana Town Has Been Abandoned And Reclaimed By Nature For Decades Now
One of the most interesting things about any place is the history of how it came to be. From politics to architecture, there’s an entire story in just about everything around us. And that’s particularly true for places that have been abandoned. This abandoned town in Montana gives us a glimpse into what life was once like. Additionally, it allows us to see what nature would do if it were allowed to exist without any human involvement.
Located near Glasgow in Valley County, you'll find the abandoned town of Saint Marie.
While the town has been mostly empty since the late 1970s, there are still a few people who call the town home. Somehow, that makes everything just a bit more eerie.
An anti-government group related to the Sovereign Citizen Movement tried to seize control of the town in 2012. Nothing was particularly legal, though, and today the town sits empty again.

Michelle has lived in many places, but counts Maine as one of the best. In addition to the smell of ocean water in the air on rainy days in Portland, she loves puppies, photography, funny people, the Maine Red Claws, traveling, fresh tomatoes, Cambodia and filling out forms.
