History is made every day. Throughout this publication,
you saw wonderful historical photos of Great Falls. They
have been brought to you by The History Museum/Cascade
County Historical Society. We endeavor to improve the existing
conditions for the collections we currently hold, while acquiring
significant collections for future generations. History is people,
places, events, and stories. As we strive to preserve records
and objects, we learn where they came from, who they met
along the way and share those stories with the public.
The mission of the Cascade County Historical Society is to
preserve the historical and folk heritage of the North Central
Montana Region. The Society interprets the area's diverse
past for the education and enjoyment of both present and f
uture generations. The Cascade County Historical Society
acts on this mission by maintaining a museum, a permanent
collection, and archives, as well as providing programming to
further community awareness of the historical aspects of our
local history.
The History Museum Archives & Research Center maintains
4,500 square feet of closed stack resources accessible to
the public through the Research & Reading Room. Historic
photographs, blueprints, maps, bound newspapers, yearbooks,
and many more original documents are available to the public
for research.
Please consider supporting us with a membership, donation,
visit to our museum and giftshop/bookstore. If you are looking
for historic images for your home, business or publication, we
offer this service. Supporting history supports the future.
We are currently seeking funding for two projects - an
Environmental Upgrade & Education Center Expansion to
protect our collections while making them more accessible for
research and an archival storage and cataloging supplies to
make public access possible for the Tribune Reporter Research
File Archives. This wonderful collection has 100,000's of
photos that aren't available anywhere else.
If you have any questions about the organization, the
projects mentioned above or are on research journey, we
are happy to answer.
