Get inspired by history and help #NameOurLakes!
From the first irrigation ditches of the 1880s to today’s vibrant Billings community, water has always been at the heart of Yellowstone County’s growth. Our NEW Water Treatment Plant & Reservoirs Project, partnering with Billings Bench Water Association, is the latest chapter in this legacy—securing safe, reliable drinking water for generations to come
Join us for a fascinating presentation by Community Historian of Western Heritage Center, Lauren Hunley:
“Fields of Opportunity: History of Irrigation in Yellowstone County”
See how local water management shaped our community and charts our future!
