The Historical Museum at Fort Missoula offers visitors a place to wonder, to reminisce, to learn about our county’s history and how our community’s past makes Missoula what it is today.

Visitors can explore the rich history of western Montana found throughout our 32 acre Historic Park. Some of Missoula County’s fascinating history you will discover includes: early Fort history dating from its establishment in 1877 in the midst of the Indian Wars; the exploits of the all African American 25th Infantry Bicycle Corps, the century or more of the forest products industry’s culture and innovations; and the World War II internment camp that once held over 2,200 Italian and Japanese nationals.
