Northwest Montana Historical Society Museum at Central School

The Northwest Montana Historical Society Museum at the old Central School building in Kalispell, Montana is a history museum featuring exhibits that illuminate the history of Northwest Montana. Operated by the non-profit Northwest Montana Historical Society, the Museum at Central School is housed in the 20,000 square foot Richardsonian Romanesque-style four-story stone Central School building, constructed in 1894 and completely restored and renovated in the late 1990s. Current permanent exhibits focus on Montana pioneer Frank Bird Linderman, the Northwest Montana timber industry, the U.S. Forest Service, Northwest Native American culture, early Kalispell, and the turn-of-the-century community of Demersville. An elaborate new natural history exhibit, "Wild Montana", highlighting the flora, fauna and geology of the Flathead Valley from the highest peaks of Glacier National Park to the low lying wetlands of Flathead Lake, is being planned, designed and funded to open at the Museum in the Spring of 2007.
