STATE FACTS
FLY THE FLAG
Under the word "Montana", on a blue field, is the state seal. The seal
shows some of Montana's beautiful scenery and tells what people were
doing in pioneer times. The pick, shovel, and plow represent mining
and farming. In the background a sun rises over mountains, forests and
the Great Falls of the Missouri river. A ribbon contains the state motto
"Gold and Silver."
