It burned down a few years ago and the 7 residents moved away. Hathaway pretty much sums up why I love living in Montana!
Hathaway? Holy momma, I can barely find anything on that place! I see that it's in Rosebud County which is just south of Garfield County, home of the Montana Freemen. Just west of Garfield County is Petroleum County which is the least populated county in all on Montana with only 400 or so people with about 120 of them in Winnett. I think Garfield County holds the Montana record for lowest population density at something like .2 people per square mile. Brockway is in McCone County which is directly east of Garfield County.

Yep Hefty, you're pretty much in the exactly middle of nowhere, LOL! I tell ya though, there are lots of people here in the northeast that are getting so fed up with taxes and talk about going to places like Montana, my brother and I were just talking about this yesterday. We have a tiny high school here where the per pupil cost is almost $20,000.00 per student and the taxes are killing us.

I told my brother to move to Brockway. He asked me about the Brockway school system, I told him they don't have one because the place is so small, they don't have any students, LMAO! His daughter likes hunting so I told him there's all the hunting a person could ever want out there on the prairie in eastern Montana.
