Review & FAQ:

The Old Montana Prison Complex in Deer Lodge, Montana is home to five different museums housed within historic, rustic prison walls. A visit to the museum complex transports guests to the past, to the time of the first territorial prison located in the western part of the country. The complex consists of the Old Montana Prison, the Montana Auto Museum, Yesterday’s Playthings, the Frontier Montana Museum, and the Powell County Museum. One fee covers admission to all five museums. The prison itself was built during the 1800’s by convicts and the museum shares what life was like for the prisoners.
