Sourdough is a small, quiet place in Sweet Grass County, Montana, United States. It's known as an unincorporated community. This means it's a settlement that doesn't have its own local government, like a city or town. Instead, it's governed by the county. Sourdough is located northeast of a larger town called Big Timber. You can even find Sourdough marked on the Ryan Creek U.S. Geological Survey Map.
Exploring Sourdough's Past
Sourdough was first settled in 1912. It was a small, isolated village nestled in the beautiful Crazy Mountains. People lived there, and it even had its own schoolhouse.
The Schoolhouse's Journey
The old schoolhouse from Sourdough has a special story. It was carefully moved and restored. Now, you can find it in Big Timber. It's part of the Crazy Mountain Museum, where it helps tell the history of the area.
What's Left Today?
If you visit the original spot where Sourdough once stood, you won't find any buildings left. The village is no longer there, but its history lives on through stories and the old schoolhouse.
