Montana’s Most Romantic Place is Also one of the Scariest
When it comes to romantic places in Montana, I can think of a long list of beautiful, quiet places that are perfect backdrops for spending time with that special someone. A sunset boat ride on Flathead Lake, a beautiful fall hike to Holland Lake Falls, finding a nice and dark place to look at the night sky under the Big Sky, all come to mind. There is one surprising town in Montana that has been named the "Most Romantic" it is also one of the most haunted places in Montana. Do you think that is a coincidence?
Montana has its share of haunted places like the Dumas Brothel in Butte, or the Old Territorial Prison in Deer Lodge. There is one place that stands out in Montana that includes both romance and haunts. Fort Benton, named the most romantic spot in Montana by Honeymoon Always, is also home to one of the most haunted places in the state.

According to Haunted Rooms, The Grand Union Hotel is the most haunted place in Montana. It's interesting that the most romantic and most haunted place in Montana is in the same location.
I was fortunate to spend some time in Fort Benton years ago for a wedding and we stayed at the Grand Union Hotel. At the time, I didn't know we were in the most romantic town and that we were staying in the most haunted place in the state. We didn't see any ghosts or apparitions at the time, but we did enjoy a fantastic wedding of some close friends. Now I want to plan another trip, maybe this time it can be around Valentine's Day, so we can get both romance and a fright.
