Boundary Country

Arts & Culture

Take a glimpse into our Past

Farmers, ranchers, prospectors and pioneers made their way to Boundary Country, some drawn by the land itself and others by stories of gold and copper. Every one of them left their imprint. They left a legacy of historical, cultural and heritage experiences that shape the stories we tell here today. Uncover our stories, then make them your own, on a Boundary Country vacation you’ll always remember.

Tales from the Rails

The story of Boundary Country’s rich, natural resources begins with horsepower and ends with the railway. Without the railway, the prospectors would never have gotten their goods to market.
