Gallatin History Museum — Attraction in Bozeman

There is a lot packed in to this wonderful museum. You gotta watch out though it is easy to lose track of time there's a lot covered. It honestly has been one of the most interesting museums I have been to. It was not expected i mean there was a log cabin inside the museum that was packed full of everything you would have seen back then to every kind of Indian artifact to a still for making moonshine. And yes if I ever get the chance to visit the beautiful city of Bozeman Montana in the rocky mountains again which I'm hoping to then I would most definitely have to go threw the Gallatin History Museum again and see what I missed the first go around... oh and last but definitely not the least the staff were very friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable, and easily approachable if and when I had...

I'll preface this by saying I don't have a lot of experience visiting small historical museums. We went in on the first day of a family trip, with the hopes of finding some fun historical info about a distant relative. We were lucky enough to get Kieran as our tour guide, and he was extremely knowledgeable and could weave historical narratives into a fun tale of drama and intrigue! He was also kind enough to dig up extra research about said distant relative, provide recommendations for local restaurants, and was happy to show us around and answer questions about the archive. He clearly has a lot of interest in what he does and was a very fun host!

Thank you Kieran and the Gallatin History Museum! We were...

This museum is much more than you'd expect from a normal small town museum. There is a TON of history and a TON of really cool items, along with detailed stories to paint the picture of Gallatin area history and the people who called the area home.

It's also a somewhat interactive experience. You can go inside the old jail cells, read the inscriptions on the cell walls carved by inmates, lay in the bunks, etc. The receptionist is a sweet, knowledgeable, fun gal and was happy to explain the artifacts and answer any questions we had.

They really should be charging more than the $10 entrance fee. I thought we'd be in and out in 30 minutes......Give yourself at least an hour, and it still...
