I grew up near Ft. Benton Montana and always enjoyed building subjects of river and lake boats that once steamed the rivers and lakes of Montana.
I have built two side wheelers that represented those that streamed the upper Missourri and Yelowstone rivers. I had also built a replica of a 100' sternwheeler that once operated on Flathead Lake. I do not know where these are now, since I had built them a long time ago and dontated them to an exhibition. But, maybe someday I may build another.
