Okinawan Students Visit the Museum Linda Huth, Broadwater County Museum Curator On Saturday, December 17, students from Okinawa, Japan visited the Broadwater County Museum. These students' visit are part of the Kakeshashi Project and Japan's friendship Ties Program. As a result of a suggestion from Peggy Flynn, Samara Lynde contacted the museum staff to see if it would be possible to have the museum open for this visit and we were delighted to do so.

Our visitors were especially interested in anything to do with the "Wild West". The buffalo robe that is displayed in our museum brought much interest and their interpreter explained to them the story of the robe as told by Linda Huth, Curator of the museum.

Tours are always available at the museum. The telephone number is: (406) 266-5252 and the email address is: bwcomuseum@mt.net.
