Through interviews with Drummond ranchers about their everyday lives and poignant black-and-white photographs of the town, its people, its rodeo, and its ranches, author and photographer Jill Brody published the Book Drummond; Ranch life in the West. It captures rural life at the end of the twentieth century. What emerges is a story about a changing way of life, a difference in priorities, and a very real struggle to survive, all faced with grace and acceptance .

Drummond is a working agricultural area located adjacent to I-90.  The trip down the off-ramp takes you to a place where traditional values are present and you are immersed in a captivatingly authentic, western community. 

The traveler is permitted a glimpse of unadorned and unstaged life in a ranching region.  The World Famous Bullshippers here are honest, hard working, and friendly.  

A typical excursion down Front street could include a 4th of July Kiddies Parade, or ranchers discussing the weather, hay crops, or calving. You might even see cattle being driven to market, or there may be no traffic at all.
