Prairie County had its 15 minutes of fame when it was the site of the Custer Creek train wreck in 1938. Nowadays, the county is known for the Terry Badlands, a designated wilderness study area. It banks on the beauty of the area to boost ecotourism in the county. Efforts to increase tourism have paid off in recent years, as the registry at the Evelyn Cameron Museum shows visitors as far away as Asia and Europe. Quite an achievement for a small county, which is why Prairie County is the number 1 on our list of the 10 best places to retire in Montana!
