After carefully considering the current Covid-19 situation in Missoula County, seeking guidance from the Health Department, and speaking with our staff and volunteers at the Historical Museum, we have come to the decision that it is not possible for our Harvest Festival Event to take place this fall.  The efforts it would take to mitigate the current Covid-19 spike and keep the site safe were beyond the capacity of our staff and volunteers.

 On behalf of the staff, volunteers, and Boards of the Historical Museum we are disappointed that we are unable to do the event this year, but we look forward to a time in the future when Covid-19 is behind us, and we can again gather and celebrate our rich Western Montana History.
While our annual celebration has been canceled, the Historical Museum at Fort Missoula is open to the public.

  *   Tuesday - Sunday: 12pm-5pm
  *   Closed on Monday
We want to thank our community and each of you for your support and working together to protect our community during the COVID-19 pandemic. Just like in 1918, when the flu ravaged our world, nation, and state, these tough decisions are what we each need to do to protect those we hold dear and our communities.
As a public organization, our primary concern is the safety and well-being of the Missoula Community.  Please remember to physical distance when you are enjoying the Historical Museum. Thank you for your understanding at this challenging time for our country. Stay well, friends.
If you have any questions please contact  Matt Lautzenheiser, Executive Director Ph# 406 -258-3471 or mlautzenheiser at missoulacounty.us<mailto:mlautzenheiser at missoulacounty.us>.
