Welcome to Laurel
— the Hub of Montana!
Whether you're planning a Montana vacation... thinking of moving to our beautiful Big Sky state... or looking for assistance to grow your business... the Laurel Area Chamber of Commerce and Visitor's Bureau is here to help.
Your hub for travel in Montana
Located on the famous Yellowstone river and only a short drive to blue- ribbon trout fishing, skiing, hunting, camping, horseback riding and
national forest access, Laurel is the perfect starting point for outdoor recreation enthusiasts.
And for those with tamer tastes, you're just minutes away from a wide variety of shopping, fine dining, lush parks, fascinating museums, world-class art and cultural centers in Billings.
Laurel has become known as the Hub of Montana because from here,
all roads lead to the exciting historical and recreational opportunities throughout Montana and Wyoming. And at the Laurel Chamber of Commerce, we're happy to help you get your Montana vacation or relocation plans started off on the right foot.
Your hub for business growth
But the Chamber isn't just about Montana tourism. We also provide important services to help foster a healthy business climate in the Laurel area for business owners and employees alike.
Since 1908 the Chamber has been helping businesses grow and prosper. Over the years we have formed alliances with business leaders, sister chambers, government agencies and civic officials to serve our community, and help businesses accomplish their goals.

The Owl Cafe has been an icon in Laurel since 1916. During those years the doors of the cafe were closed only once for a 2 year period (1994 to 1995).
Linda Frickel, the current owner, bought the building early in 1996 and began the process of remodeling the interior of the cafe. The doors were reopened on July 2nd, 1996, continuing on with its famous name of the "Owl Cafe" and with its well-known menu of downhome cooked meals. Throughout the years, continued improvements have been made to the interior of the building, keeping up with the times. The Owl Cafe building is proud to be on the National Registry of Historic Buildings in Laurel.
Thanks to her son Dirk, the "Owl Cafe" takes pride in the fact that 95% of their menu is now made from scratch, using as many local products and Montana based foods as possible. Linda is also a member of the Western Sustainability Exchange which works with Montana based farmers and ranchers to use Montana meats and various other Montana products.
Linda is always thinking "Green" and does her part in recycling everything she can, including paper, cardboard, plastic and aluminum.
The Cafe has just completed a new, re-vamped menu (with no raise in prices) and has announced that each Wednesday evening will feature a different Home-Style Entree at a generous rate of 2 (meals) for $20.00, including salad and bread.
The Owl Cafe is Open for Business 7 Days per week.
Sunday and Monday 9AM to 2PM
Tuesday - Friday 6AM to 8PM
