Wedding Gowns On Display
A cavalcade of eleven distinctly different historic wedding gowns is on display at the Museum through the summer. Dating from 1872 to 1963, this collection reveals nearly a century of wedding gown design. Men's historic wedding fashion is included with the display of a Prince Albert coat and vest worn by W.F. Roeseler at a local wedding in 1897 and the snappy black pin-striped matching suits worn by Dorothy & Leon Linhart at their wedding in 1943.
Historic Film Club
The 4th Tuesday of every month at 7 PM we screen classic films from the National Film Registry and a list of 100 Greatest Films. Upcoming July 22 the Marx Brothers classic “Duck Soup” (1933), and Aug. 26 we’ll show “Dave” (1993) with Kevin Kline & Sigourney Weaver, and Sept. 23 “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” (1939) with Jimmy Stewart. No charge, but donations to help defray costs will be appreciated.
100 Year-Old Newspapers
On Display
Each week visitors will be able to come in and read what was happening in Flathead Valley exactly 100 years ago, and we will keep the display current by cycling through the editions as the days go by. It makes for fascinating reading.
