• Take a short drive up the ‘Scenic View’ road northwest of Terry to see the famed ‘Badlands.’  Here you’ll find a vast display of primitive rock formations stretched across almost 43,000 acres of a Wilderness Study Area.  Due to the unique geologic formations of the area, it was deemed a Wilderness Study Area by an act of Congress in the 1970's.  Livestock grazing is allowed although some Wilderness Area restrictions apply, such as no off road driving.  There is plenty of room here for hiking, biking and enjoying the peace and quiet of the plains.                            
  

• Calypso Trail was an old freight line used to transport goods down to the railroad.  This is a motorized trail with spectacular views of the badlands.  Three Natural Bridges of rock are located a short distance from the Calypso Trail.
• Sheridan Butte was used as a signaling site for U.S. soldiers during the Indian Wars.  Names and dates are carved into the sandstone by soldiers and early settlers.

• Visitors can discover Terry’s history at the Prairie County Museum & Lady Cameron Gallery in Terry. The Gallery features large crisp copies of a photograph collection that is a stunning portrayal of the everyday lives of eastern Montana homesteaders.  The Prairie County Museum, housed in the old State Bank of Terry, is filled with horse and buggy equipment, and household and business antiques.  A dentist office, barber shop, butcher shop, one-room school, library, hospital room, laundry, kitchen, dining room and bedroom date back to the turn of the century.  Also on display are thousands of old photographs.
