The Buckskin Butte Ranch is located 32 miles from the “Birthplace of Montana”. Fort Benton is the longest continuously occupied settlement in Montana, and the worlds innermost port. Once accessible by steamboat, it was the economic hub for the Western River system and served as a fur trading outpost on the Upper Missouri River. Forbes once named Fort Benton one of “The Fifteen Prettiest Towns in America”, and was named a U.S National Register of Historic Places and a U.S. National Historic Landmark District. Fort Benton is home to the Grand Union Hotel, which is Montana’s oldest operating hotel. The hotel features 26 guest rooms and is home to one of Montana’s finest restaurants, the Union Grille.

The small community of Geraldine has a population of 200, and is located seven miles from the ranch. The town has a K through 12 school, a farm store, a bank, gas stations, a bar and grill and several other businesses.

Great Falls with a population of 60,000 is the nearest city and offers great health service, dining, retail, and entertainment. The Great falls International Airport is serviced by four major airlines: Alaska Airlines, Allegiant Airlines, Delta Airlines and United Airlines.
