Haugan
Haugan is a tiny community in far-western Mineral County, Montana along Interstate 90 near the Idaho line, best known to travelers for the 50,000 Silver Dollar Bar and its roadside stop in the heavily timbered St. Regis country. Its life runs on the highway traveler trade, timber, recreation, and the few businesses serving the corridor. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms (custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing) for the Haugan area's traveler, recreation, and local businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania. Distance is no barrier, and we add on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
