Osborn (also Osborn Townsite) is a populated place and ghost town located in Yellowstone County, Montana, United States.
Osborn was established as a town with a train station in 1907 along the Huntley Project irrigation system and retained a post office for only six years, until its closure in 1914.[ citation needed ]
In 1928, several blocks of land within the "Osborn Townsite" were withdrawn by the federal government and set aside for use by the Department of Agriculture as an agricultural field station. [3]
The Huntley Project Museum of Irrigated Agriculture is located on 10.4 acres (4.2 ha) of the townsite, where 18 homestead buildings from the early 1900s have been preserved. [4]
The Southern Agricultural Research Center is also located here, [5] as well as a small fairground where occasional gatherings can be set up.
The community has been well preserved as a museum showpiece. While none of the original businesses remain, many of the original residences are still standing and occupied.
