Brady Montana History

This website is dedicated to the history of Brady, Montana. It was created and is maintained by Janice Bergstrom Farkell. It is a work in progress. My contact info is jafarkell@3rivers.net.

This website is in the memory of Mildred Trost who preserved and shared a great deal of the information we still enjoy and appreciate.

I welcome pictures and information to be included in this website.

In 1917 the town of Brady boasted three lumber yards, two blacksmith shops, two barber shops and a newspaper as well as several other places of business.
