The name Tobacco Gardens comes from the area’s rich history.
A plant called Kinnikinnick once spanned the hillside. It had no hallucinogenic or medicinal properties, but Native Americans dried and smoked its leaves, using it for trade. While you will no longer find the plant inhabiting the landscape, you can experience the rich history of the land with a hike through the neighboring Little Missouri National Grasslands or along the nearby “Birnt Hills” trail once traveled by Lewis and Clark.
