John q. adams milwaukee railroad park

location: mt-hwy 2/main street, between cottonwood and s. montana streets

Named for the founder of the City of Three Forks, this park houses the old Trident Depot building. The Three Forks Historical Society saved the depot when Montana Rail Link dissolved the old Trident station. It was an original icon in the former town of Trident (which is now all gone) which was more like what we would call a neighborhood today, but was in fact a town filled with people, most of whom were employed by the Ideal Cement Company.

This park offers a large grassy area, shaded with spruce trees, picnic benches and is home to the Three Forks Chamber of Commerce’s Visitors’ Center caboose. This park also plays host to the summer Farmer’s Market. The Historical Society has relaid train tracks and added an old steam engine within the park to give the user a real sense of the history of Three Forks as a railroad town.

The Depot houses more of the Historical Society’s museum artifacts.

Reservation is required for events like the Farmer’s Market, which is throughout summer every Thursday night from 4-7PM - please plan accordingly.
