With a population of just 920 people, Philipsburg certainly qualifies as a tiny town. But for such a small place, it’s quite big on character. In fact, we happen to think it’s a top contender for the best place in Montana. Here’s why.

Its location can't be beat.

Philipsburg is located in Granite County, a scenic and picturesque place in Western Montana known for its mining history. Quiet and rural with plenty of museums and ghost towns, it's an amazing place to visit or to live.
It's undeniably charming.
