 ike
its varied citizens, Livingston defies a single category. There are
long-time residents whose ancestors homesteaded here, nationally
recognized artists and
writers for whom this is both home and inspiration, newcomers who've
chosen to
retire here, young families with children, and folks in between.
Livingston is authentic, lively, community-oriented, open-minded, and
always friendly. Livingston has two live theaters, a ballet company,
three museums, and over a
dozen art galleries. Live music from local bands or visiting
headlliners is available in town or in Paradise Valley several nights a
week. You can get a great hamburger here or a gourmet
meal, and catch up on community news while you are at it. Outdoor
concerts by the Yellowstone River, Art Walks, festivals, and rodeos are
just a part of the varied culture.

Livingston has more than 400
buildings on the National Historic Register. Backed by the Absaroka
Mountains, visible from Rockmount Condominiums, Livingston streets
contain classic brick-front buildings over 100 years old. Many still
show vintage hand-painted signs.

Paradise
Valley, south of town, is the route to Yellowstone National Park,
just an hour's drive away. The
Yellowstone River runs through it, and the Valley draws fishermen,
hikers, campers, river rafters, kayakers, cross-country skiers,
hunters, climbers,mountain bikers, photographers, and the wildlife for
which Montana is known. No wonder
the Livingston area was the setting for "A River Runs
Through It" and "The Horse Whisperer." Proximity to some of the
country's best downhill skiing rounds out the recreational picture.
