Review:
The Historical Museum at Fort Missoula is a history museum located on a decommissioned Army Base. The fort has an interesting history for its role in conflicts with Native Americans in early American westward expansion. It was later used as a military training facility as well as an alien detention center for the Department of Immigration and Naturalization.
The museum has a collection of indoor and outdoor exhibits, which include more than a dozen historic structures that were relocated to the museum site from the surrounding area. The exhibits tell the story of the early development of Missoula County, as well as the black 25th Infantry Bicycle Corps. Several artifacts from the 25th Infantry as well as other historical artifacts are housed in the museum. Guided tours can be booked by phoning the museum.
