What is Happening at the Broadwater County Museum?
The Broadwater County Museum is making preparations for the 2023 season. We are hoping to have several new items on display this year and to have an interesting program for the open house program, which will be entitled "Outstanding Citizens & Notable Characters" on Sunday, June 4.
One of the projects that has kept us pretty busy is the organization of our extensive clothing collection. The clothing has been cataloged and then these items have been wrapped in acid-free tissue paper and to be stored in acid-free boxes. This should help us know what we have and where it is located. When the time comes to rotate the clothing that is on display, we will be able to easily locate additional display items.
We are also trying to redo our lighting system by installing LED lights.
Outside of the front door, we will have two new benches for visitors to enjoy our Montana weather (if that ever happens!).
One of our most exciting additions will be a new display case for a World War II item that was added to the collection a few years ago.
There are a few vacancies on the Broadwater County Historical Society Board of Directors. Anyone interested in Broadwater County history is welcome to submit a letter of interest to the Broadwater County Commissioners. We would love to have you join us!!
Present members of the board are Terry Love, Sharon Ragen, Jorja Hensley, Keith Kirscher, Chuck McLane, Ross Johnson, Vic Sample, Mike Millay and Kevin Flynn.
The museum will open for the season on Monday, May 15th. Members of the museum staff are Linda Huth and Lanny White.
We look forward to your visit and hope you enjoy it and come back!
