- Havre, Montana - Hands Across The Border
Hands Across The Border is an iron sculpture by the late Montana artist Lyndon Fayne Pomeroy depicting a border patrol agent and a Canadian mounted police officer shaking hands in solidarity. Havre sits 40 miles south of the Canadian border. Border patrol agents often board the Amtrak Empire Builder train, looking for people attempting to cross the border illegally. The statue was installed in 1984.
