Great Falls, Montana

Great Falls was born beside the mighty Missouri, where Paris Gibson saw more than waterfalls — he saw the making of a city. Founded in 1884 with the backing of railroad magnate James J. Hill, Great Falls grew into a hub of railroads, smelters, broad avenues, and electric light, earning its nickname as “The Electric City.” This collection honors the glow of old Great Falls — a place where river power, Western ambition, and Main Street memories shaped the heart of Montana.
