(HELENA,) – On Tuesday, Governor Greg Gianforte cut the ribbon on the Montana Heritage Center and celebrated the opening of the state history museum.
The Montana Heritage Center is home to the Montana Historical Society and currently features three galleries including the Homeland Gallery showcasing a walkthrough of Montana history dating back to the Ice Age, the Charles M. Russell Gallery, and the Changing Gallery which showcases a rotating selection of exhibits. The facility also has a library and archives research center, a café, a gift shop, and rentable event spaces.
“Thanks to the generosity and hard work of many, we are now standing in a truly world-class facility, built for all people to visit, learn, and share in our state’s history,” Gov. Gianforte said. “This place tells the story of Montana and the people who built it – the spectacular and the tragic, the triumphs and the challenges. It’s great to celebrate the long-awaited opening of the Montana Heritage Center.”
