I'm bringing a couple of friends to Ft. Peck Reservoir in February for a week of pike spearing.

What is St. Marie?
Hunting Wife's laughter gives me the impression I'm not privy to the joke.

She laughs, but she’s a local. I’m serious because it’s a place unique in the world.
It’s a mostly abandoned Town. Has a really interesting history. And is probably the closest thing to the apocalypse one can get without actually having family members and friends die. It’s a sort of ghost town, but from the mid 20th century
Just a neat place. We went there for work a few years back, and across the highway from it and just a bit north there was a fishing access at a little pond that we had fun at too.
I hope to take my family to it someday before it inevitably changes.

As you approach it, the shape becomes houses. Lots of them. A couple of water towers join the skyline. It looks like you’re coming up on a little Montana town, out here in almost-no-man’s-land. And it is a town, or rather, was.

Sorry, it’s a bit of an inside joke in my circle 
. It’s an old, mostly abandoned air base. If you are a Walking Dead fan, you will LOVE St. Marie!
Honestly, there’s a reason there are very few tourists in February in that neck of the woods. Everything that immediately comes to my mind that’s cool to see, will be closed or likely inaccessible then unfortunately. I’m sure there’s something, but I’m drawing a blank right now.

That was a good read, thank you NR.
Maybe a narrower criteria:
How about places to eat, either historic places or ones with great steaks?
I like reading historic markers so I'll check as many as possible.

A town in Montana without a great steak sounds like a law is being broken.
Thanks for the tips!

One of the travel magazines did some research to find the " Middle of no were."
Glasgow MT was picked, and it is.
Fort Peck has a great theater production team.

Monson’s Montana bar and Eugene’s pizza.

Glasgow is not well known for its dining options by any stretch. But, if you can temper your expectations…Eugene’s is decent for eastern Montana pizza. Sam and Jeff’s or the Busted Knuckle Brewery are popular local watering holes. Honestly The Gateway in Ft. Peck has as good of food as anything in town.

I thought Eugene's pizza was good as well. Also enjoyed a good walleye meal at the Cottonwood Inn restaurant think it was called The Rose or something back several years ago.

Don’t forget about their glaciers. Beats a dairy queen blizzard every day hands down.

Our plan is to stay at the Cottonwood. We'll probably eat there, just looking for other places for variety.
The Montana Bar will likely be one for the history aspect alone.

Yep. Go to Sam and Jeff’s. Grab a drink then order your Eugene’s pizza. I used to always stay at the cottonwood and have dinner there too but then started stayng at the Rundle for a much nicer room at the same price.

The Rundle does look nice! We might have issues there with parking multiple trucks towing trailers.
If I was taking my wife, that would be my first option though.
Truthfully we're equipped to sleep in our shanties if need be so any room is fine.
I appreciate all of the information from everyone!

I made a handy list on the chalkboard of fun things to do in Glasgow in February if you’re not ice fishing, calling coyotes, or flirting with alcoholism.

I suppose we could bring rifles and nail the trifecta
