Good Morning America released a 90-second [4] video tour highlighting Montana's landmarks, history, and outdoor attractions as part of a nationwide series.
The project aims to showcase the unique offerings of every U.S. state to build momentum toward the 250th anniversary of the United States on July 4, 2026 [3].
Known as "Big Sky Country" and the "Treasure State," Montana was the 41st [5] state to join the union. The segment focuses on the region's fishing and treasure-hunting opportunities, providing a brief glimpse into the state's cultural and natural landscape.
The Montana episode is one piece of a broader production that began in July 2025 [2]. The series is designed to span over 50 weeks [1], dedicating time to each of the 50 states before the upcoming national milestone.
By utilizing short-form video content, the program highlights specific regional draws to encourage domestic travel and historical appreciation. The series continues to roll out as the country approaches the semiquincentennial celebration in July.
