Our buildings have a history!

The two buildings which house the Upper Musselshell Museum are located on the main street of the city (Central Avenue), and about two blocks south of U.S. Highway 12.  Both buildings were constructed prior to 1909 of locally-quarried sandstone.  One housed a wholesale liquor business, a bank, a newspaper, a laundry, a cafe, a barbershop, apartments, various repair shops and now a museum.  The other started out as a hardware store and eventually housed a dry goods store, a livery, a blacksmith shop, second story apartments, J.C. Penney, another dry goods store and finally a discount manufacturer's overstock store.  Both buildings have been extensively remodeled on the interior and are air-conditioned in the summer.  Ample parking is available for cars and buses.  Our display areas are unique because you walk though them and can see things as close as you need to.
