Support the Museum

Join the Friends of the Historical Museum

The Friends of the Historical Museum is a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to the support of the Historical Museum in its mission to bring history alive in Western Montana.  While Missoula County provides the Museum with its funding for utilities and basic operations through a permissive tax mill levy authorized by the Montana State Legislature, money for educational programs, exhibits and restoration of the grounds and historic buildings on the site must come from elsewhere.  The Friends of the Historical Museum at Fort Missoula was incorporated in 1977, as a 501(c)(3) organization, to provide that support.

Membership fees are the most important source of revenue for restoration and other exhibit and educational activities.  In recent years the Friends have assisted the Museum in moving historical buildings to the site, in improving the grounds, in purchasing objects for the Museum's collection, creating new exhibits and educational outreach programs, and in helping with other long-term projects.
