NEW EXHIBITS

We have some exciting new exhibits: Bungalow Drug Store; new Agriculture room; parlor room; past post offices; and many others.

Visitors can step inside an authentic 1870s log cabin and imagine a family living in a 12-by-14 foot home.
Also on display is a model of Fort Ellis (1867-1886), once a military outpost along the Bozeman Trail.

An American Indian exhibit reveals the great talents of craftmanship held by these early residents of Montana. An agricultural room features
early farm and ranch tools used in the Gallatin Valley.

The sheriff's room is highlighted by a hanging gallows, a visitor's cell, an old whiskey still, and items collected from law breakers over the
decades. Other exhibits feature the story of John Bozeman, the Big Horn Gun, early household items, old automobiles, a prisoners' isolation
cell, an early town printing press, and detailed models of wagons used by pioneers.
