Heron, Montana

A Beautiful Valley of Views

Heron is a secluded little piece of small town life. Established in 1883 by the Northern Pacific Railroad as a division point, it has persevered through the boom and bust cycle.

As quiet as is gets, Heron sits off the beaten path. For those looking for a peaceful place that is still convenient to amenities, this is the town. A short drive from shopping, healthcare and more civilized activities, you won’t need to trade your privacy and gorgeous views for convenience.
