Moving to Montana or Wyoming

[Wolfie729]

My wife and I are talking of moving our family of 4 to Wyoming or Montana from Michigan. I am currently self-employed and I’m thinking of selling off my business and relocating. My Wife would be looking for a new job as well. Are there any recommendations anybody has for good towns our kids are big and into sports 4-H looking for more of a conservative feel with good church options.

Lots of great towns in both States. Assuming you're an outdoorsman since you're on this forum, there is good hunting opportunity in both states. I know that agriculture is pretty big in parts of Michigan. If you're more accustomed to farmlands and crops, Montana certainly has a little more of that in places than Wyoming generally speaking.

I’m wondering if this question has ever been asked before on Rokslide

Ya my Dad’s a farmer, my wife and I are both about 40 I currently own a residential construction business. But I’m sick of missing being out west all year just for 2 weeks of excitement then done for a year.

Lived in Helena MT for a few years and loved it. I would recommend that.

All the best towns are in Wyoming. I would definitely just go there.

What’s Helena like? Good churches? I hear a lot of liberals moving out west so I would like to avoid that.

Billings MT is a great town. I go there a few times a year and considering moving there every time. Might be my next stop when the kids are grown.

If you're looking for conservative church-going people, I think you could do a lot better than Helena. Generally speaking Helena is pretty moderate to left leaning politically. Billings, Kalispell or Great Falls might be a better fit. Or anywhere in northern or eastern Montana if you don't mind small town living.
