For more than 11,000 years, towering mountain ranges and lush river valleys with abundant wildlife have drawn residents and visitors to the area. The wonders of Yellowstone National Park are nearby and the county’s people are friendly. You are invited to become a part of history! Come check out the museum and explore interpretive exhibits about the area’s native cultures, early expeditions—including the Corps of Discovery and Lewis and Clark, the railway’s role in bringing visitors to Yellowstone National Park and other transportation themes, and the stories and artifacts of early-day communities. New in 2016: “1916: 100 Years Ago in Park County” and oil paintings by Tom L. Roberts. Experience special children’s activities, designed to engage families.
