Big Timber Chronicle of Growth and Heritage in 1900s
Big Timber’s early boom included a stone church built in 1895, a brick schoolhouse, and a growing economy with a proposed gravity water system. The town saw fires, civic organizations, a county formation effort, and a thriving fire department, schools, and commerce as residents shaped a progressive community.
