A view from 1939:
HARDIN, (2,966 alt., 1,169 pop.), seat of Big Horn
County, is the trading center of an area opened to white settlement
in 1906. A farmers' town, chiefly serving the Crow Reservation,
Hardin takes on life in summer, when it is much frequented
by the beaded and beribboned Indians who make up one-fourth
of the county's population. On the southern outskirts is a
colony of Mexican beetfield workers.
The MUSEUM in the BIG HORN COUNTY LIBRARY, Custer Ave. and
5th St., contains mementos of the Custer battle and of General
Custer.
