Situated on 24 acres, the Big Horn County Historical Museum was established in 1979. The Museum complex consisting of twenty permanent buildings represents the interest and involvement that local residents, the business community, the Big Horn County Historical Society, the Historical Museum Foundation, and local and state government have taken to preserve, exhibit and interpret the areas past.
As you walk through the buildings that make up the museum, you are walking through the pages of history and touching the footsteps of such people as the first Americans who roamed the high plains in search of buffalo; traders and settlers that came in search of adventure; and the early day homesteaders who toiled out a living by farming and raising livestock. They all wrote their chapters.
Main Exhibit Building/State Visitor Center
The main building features a rotating exhibit, which changes each year, a museum gift shop which offers a large selection of books, locally crafted Indian beadwork, Montana made gift and other items. Also inside the main building, you will discover a staffed State Visitor Center, where you will find a wide variety of state and regional travel information.
