Bozeman’s Historic Neighborhood Walking Tour is recommended for those who wish to look at everything from upright farmhouses to Victorian mansions. You’ll see how much of the historic architecture of Bozeman can be characterized within a builder’s tradition, rather than a certain architectural style.

Bozeman’s Historic Main Street Walking Tour is recommended for those who wish to walk through the past or just take a leisurely stroll down Main Street. Many will appreciate the subtle difference between Art Deco, Italianate and Mission Revival architecture. Others will enjoy neon signs. But nearly everyone will appreciate the revolving yellow horse. Tradition and change. It’s all part of the attraction of downtown Bozeman. Tradition and change occurred throughout.

When the wealthy “Lord” and “Lady” Blackmore left England to tour the West, they agreed that if either should die on their travels, they would simply be laid to rest where they perished. Unfortunately, the beautiful socialite Mary Blackmore fell ill in Bozeman and died in General Lester Willson’s home. William Blackmore bought five acres to bury Mary, and donated the land to the town for use as a cemetery. In 1910, Elizabeth Bogert helped establish the local cemetery board and suggested the cemetery’s current name, Sunset Hills.
