Huntley is 10 miles north of Billings along the Yellowstone River. The name Huntley is short for Huntley Irrigation Project, which was the second U.S. Bureau of Reclamation irrigation project. The Huntley Project Museum of Irrigated Agriculture is southern Montana's most outstanding collection of irrigated agriculture artifacts, with over 5,000 items displayed. It is the most complete museum of beet, small grain and early-day machinery, much of which has been restored to original condition and painted with authentic colors.
