Dear Friends, Members, and our Community,
Due to the spike in COVID-19 throughout our community & with guidance from Missoula Count Health Department, the Museum has made the difficult decision to temporarily close the Main Museum building through August.  Effective July 8th, the Historical Museum Main Building will be closed to the public.
The closure does not impact the grounds, which are open 24/7 and a wonderful place to burn off some energy while connecting with your community's past.
The outdoor exhibits and historic buildings will be opened daily.
Historic Park Hours:

  *   Monday - Saturday: 10am - 4pm
  *   Sunday: 12pm - 4pm
Per the Missoula County Health Department, we will not allow any gatherings on Museum property of more than 50 people. All visitors and guests who have an appointment to visit the museum or to drop off book donations will be required to wear masks.
