===Attractions=== Although small, Livingston has a number of popular tourist attractions. The [[Livingston Depot]], built in 1902 after two predecessors, is a restored rail station that houses a railroad museum open from May to September. The [[Yellowstone Gateway Museum]] documents regional history from one of the oldest North American archaeological sites to Wild Western and Yellowstone history. The International Fly Fishing Federation's museum is an extensive introduction to a popular game sport and hosts annual enthusiast meetings. The city was inhabited for two decades by [[Calamity Jane]] and visited by a number of traveling members of European royalty. In 1938, [[Dan Bailey (conservationist)|Dan Bailey]], an eastern [[fly fishing|fly-fisherman]], established Dan Bailey's Fly Shop and mail order [[fly tying]] business on Park Street.<ref name="LegendsBailey">{{cite book |last=Berryman |first=Jack W. |title=Fly-Fishing Pioneers and Legends of the Northwest |publisher=Northwest Fly Fishing LLC |location=Seattle, WA |year=2006 |isbn=978-0-9779454-0-5 |pages=101β107}}</ref> Also in Livingston is the Fly Fishing Discovery Center, a museum operated by the [[Federation of Fly Fishers]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://livingstonmuseums.org/fish/FishDiscoverUs.html|title=Fly Fishing Discovery Center|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081231204058/http://livingstonmuseums.org/fish/FishDiscoverUs.html |archive-date=2008-12-31 }}</ref> Actors [[Peter Fonda]] and [[Margot Kidder]], [[Saturday Night Live]] alumnus [[Rich Hall]], musician [[Ron Strykert]], novelist [[Walter Kirn]], and poet [[Jim Harrison]] have lived in the city. [[Jimmy Buffett]] mentions Livingston in multiple songs. Its economy is flat, and like the rest of the state, the unemployment rate is below the national average. Recently the city has invested in attractions and accommodation for tourists visiting during the Lewis and Clark bicentennial years. Livingston and its immediately adjacent area has 17 sites listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]], enumerated within [[National Register of Historic Places listings in Park County, Montana|Park County's NRHP listings]]. It has a [[Town twinning|sister-city]] relationship with [[Naganohara, Gunma|Naganohara]], [[Japan]]. <gallery caption="Images of Livingston, Montana" widths="180px" heights="120px" class="center"> File:LivingstonMontana1883-Plat.jpg|Plat of Livingston, 1883 File:LivingstonMontana1884.JPG|Gateway to Yellowstone, [[Frank Jay Haynes]], 1884 File:LivingstonMontanaNPPRDepot-Haynes1894.jpg|Second Livingston NPRR Depot, 1894 File:Livingston MT 02.jpg|Residential neighborhood File:Firehall Fitness Center Livingston Montana.jpg|Fire station reincarnated as fitness center </gallery>
