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."
