    Located in Red Lodge's historic Labor Temple Building, the Carbon County Historical Society and Museum is the county's central source for historic, genealogical, and archival information about Carbon County, Montana. The museum was first established in 1959 by Alice Greenough to house the collection of her world-renowned rodeo family. The Carbon County Historical Society was formed in 1974, and incorporated as a 501(c)3 nonprofit in 1975. In 1990, the three-story Labor Temple building was gifted to the Carbon County Historical Society by an anonymous donor. In 1909 the Labor Temple was completed in Red Lodge on the corner of 8th and Billings Ave (now Broadway). This four-story, 20,000 sq. ft. Labor Temple Building was constructed by the Red Lodge Miners Local No. 1771 for $36,000, using a quarter of a million bricks from the Fromberg brick yard. It once served more than 1,000 union miners in Carbon County. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. The historical society received money through grants, and private donations to restore the main floor and basement. In June 1999, the Labor Temple once again opened its doors to the community as the county's museum. The historical society is in the process of raising funds to restore and renovate the top two floors, with a completion date goal of 2017. See more..

    Ok, as a seasoned traveler, I have gone to all the Mega Museums of the world. The collections are usually breathtaking, but I place the smaller museums of the world on a different level. Smaller locations may not have the extensive collections, but they can tell you something about the local history and culture. This museum had many interesting exhibits and local history. Usually these locations are staffed by locals and it is possible to gain some insight of the area though the staff interaction. I had the opportunity to interact with a few staffers, and Heidi went out of her way to assist visitors with a variety of needs. She was an excellent choice for manning the front desk. Really enjoyed myself, and with their history of rotating exhibits, there may be something new on my next visit. Check out their FB page for upcoming events. Excellent job! See more..

  49. 5.0 Musselshell Valley Historical Museum (4 reviews)
    - Great Museum in Roundup
    Saturday: 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM History Museums
    This small museum had so much more to offer than I expected. There were various rooms that highlighted life in the old west, and overall it was very well done. Had items from old tools to kitchenware to dresses to airplanes. Even had an old outhouse on site (obviously not for use). Overall my family throughly enjoyed the museum. It is worth an hour or two of your time. Don’t miss the outdoor rooms that have just as many interesting things as the interior of the main building. The volunteers were very helpful explaining things to my 5 year old grandson. There is no admission fee, but we left a donation. See more..
