April 6 (4/06) is Montana’s unofficial holiday, named after our statewide area code, and celebrated as a day of Montana pride and community connection. Postcards Across Montana is a fun way for us to bring that connection to life. Inspired by projects like Postcards Across America, we’ve brought the idea closer to home to help kids learn about their state and neighbors.
Click here to send a virtual postcard or short note from your county with one simple, kid-friendly fact. It can be anything—local history, a landmark, wildlife, a community event, or something your county is known for.
Our goal is to hear from as many counties as possible by the 4th of July, in honor of the 250th anniversary of Independence. If everything comes together, we plan to display the map during Twin Bridges’ Flotilla weekend as part of this year’s Stars, Stripes & Montana Skies celebration.
