Havre has a literal underground city — 'Havre Beneath the Streets' is a preserved network of basement businesses and tunnels from the late 1800s, when a fire destroyed above-ground buildings in 1904 and merchants continued operating from their undamaged basements while the town was rebuilt. The underground city includes a restored saloon, opium den, bordello, honky-tonk, and more — all preserved as a unique museum experience.

Moving in Havre: FAQ.
Is Havre really that remote?
Yes — genuinely. Havre sits 35 miles from the Canadian border and 110 miles north of Great Falls (the nearest larger city). Winter isolation can be significant; Amtrak's Empire Builder passenger train makes Havre a daily stop. Many residents value the remote rural character; for those needing urban amenities, Havre may feel too isolated.
