The Friends of the Historical Museum at Fort Missoula was incorporated in 1977 as a 501(c)(3) organization, to support the Historical Museum in its mission to bring Western Montana history alive. The mission of the Historical Museum at Fort Missoula is to keep Missoula County’s history alive for the education and enjoyment of the public. We are Missoula County’s history museum. We offer visitors a place to wonder, to reminisce, to learn about our county’s history, and how our community’s past makes Missoula what it is today The Friends raise funds for... • Educational Programs and Internships • Exhibits and Collections Care • Events for the Enjoyment of Our Community • Restoration and Preservation of Archaeological Sites and Historic Buildings
