The tiny community of Hall, Montana lies near the end of the Pintler Veteran's Memorial Scenic Highway between Philipsburg and Drummond. Obviously some farmers have managed to grow some grain in the area, as Hall has an elevator, but not much else. Steel clad, this is a wood cribbed elevator without any annexes. The sign on the south side reads "
Feed (illegible)
Fertilizer". It once loaded rail cars as there is a loading spout above a rail siding. Today the elevator is used for storing what the sign advertises, as well as other farm and ranch supplies.
Also in the village are a VFW, a post office, a general store/hardware store, a school, a couple of other businesses and two churches, one long defunct, the other a Methodist Church sharing a minister with the Drummond Methodist Church. We never did see anything like a town hall, maybe they only bring it out for special occasions.
The site of greatest interest nearby is the
Ohrmann Museum & Gallery, four more miles up Highway 1. The Ohrmann Museum is a fascinating place to visit. The yard is filled with Bill Ohrmann's creations, animals and insects, both contemporary and prehistoric, all expertly crafted of metal.
This is a free museum and you are welcome to view, photograph and even sit on the Turtle. According to Mrs. Ohrmann, Bill was a rancher and artist all of his life. Though he has produced some amazing sculptures, he now limits his creativity to painting that he sells in the gallery. Note: all of the sculptures that are on display are "Not for Sale" and placed there purely for the enjoyment and appreciation of Mr. Ohrmann's talents.
