Located in eastern Montana, nestled between rolling hills and badlands, Glendive is home to approximately 5,000 people. The town was originally established when the transcontinental railway was built through the northern tier of the western U.S. The railway is still a primary contributor to the local economy; mostly transporting coal and oil. The area is world-renown for it's dinosaur fossils. Glendive is home of the Foundation Advancing Creation Truth which runs the Dinosaur and Fossil Museum; which presents the truth of God's Word using the latest dinosaur and fossil exhibits. Paddle fishing in the Yellowstone River brings nearly 3,000 fisherman a year to Glendive. One of the world's finest delicacies, Yellowstone Caviar, is produced in Glendive as a product of the paddlefish.
