Bynum is the site of a one-room country school, a general store, post office, an agate shop, and Two Medicine Dinosaur Center, which provides displays and educational programs about dinosaurs.
The town's name is derived from the surname of a family of early settlers in the area.[4] The post office was established in 1885.[5] In 1908 work on the Bynum Reservoir began.[4]
In 2017, the NBC Today Show produced a segment highlighting Bynum's school and its tradition of starting each school day with a song and a dance.[6]
