In 2014, there are only three. The Montana Elevator Co. was an important franchise of elevators throughout the state and Gallatin County. The development of this elevator at the terminus of the Northern Pacific Railroad aided in the continues development of Bozeman and the Gallatin Valley as one of the primary agricultural centers of Montana. At a time when grain farming was focused on numerous small family farms, local elevators were important as terminals between the farms and the distant centers connected by the railroad. This specific elevator complex is one of the last remaining vestiges of this early- to mid- 20th century operation.
