Range Riders Museum
Starts: 04/15/2023 - Ends: 10/15/2023
We have a large Museum just jam-packed with exhibits ranging from the age of the dinosaurs to the 21st century! Exhibits include: many from the Native Americans of the area; from the pioneers of the range country of the Great Plains; from soldiers, including General Custer (for whom the county is named) as well as from General Miles (for whom the town is named).
Please enjoy our website — and come to see us “in person” whenever you can.
The Range Riders Museum is open from April 15 to October 15, depending a little bit on the weather in this part of the country. We are also open by appointment and on special occasions.

Bucking Horse Sale
Starts: 05/18/2023 - Ends: 05/21/2023
There are rodeos and then there are rodeos. The World Famous Miles City Bucking Horse Sale is in a category by itself. In fact, many rodeos have their roots right here in Miles City, as the Bucking Horse Sale annually debuts some of the finest bucking stock seen on the continent. Held the third full weekend in May each year, the BHS offers a special brand of rodeo action born right here in the heart of cowboy country. The MCBHS has evolved to include a wide array of western action, including everything from a Kick Off Concert, horse racing and of course bucking horses.
