Fort Owen State Park

Built of adobe and logs, Fort Owen is the site of the first permanent white settlement in Montana. Father Pierre DeSmet came to the area in 1841 and established St Mary's Mission among the Flathead Indians. In 1850, Major John Owen established the fort as a regional trade center.

Period furnishing and artifacts are now displayed in the restored rooms of the east barracks. The site is an acre in size and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The site is pack-in and pack-out. No fees are charged but donations are welcome to help maintain the furnishings and artifacts.

Fort Owen is located 25 miles south of Missoula on Hwy 93 to Stevensville Junction, then a half mile east on 269.
