** MTCC Friends of the Historical Museum at Fort Missoula
 
 
 
The Historical Museum at Fort Missoula was established in 1975 to collect, preserve, and interpret the history of Missoula County and western Montana for the education and cultural enrichment of visitors and area residents. The purpose of HMFM is to inspire a sense of place and history by collecting, studying, interpreting in four core areas of Western Montana history, including: Missoula City/County history, the history of Fort Missoula and its military presence in the area, historic forest management practices and the wood products industry, and the history of the Department of Justice Internment camp. The museum is located on 32 acres at Fort Missoula and is listed on the National Historic Register. We are one of only six nationally accredited museums in Montana and maintains 40,000 artifacts, including 19 historic structures. We host more than 35,000 visitors yearly, including 5,000+ local and statewide students. This number will increase with the opening of the Fort Missoula Regional Park in 2017. HMFM would like to expand its free summer programming and increase awareness of learning opportunities to help children and families combat summer learning loss. Although there are many summer camps in Missoula, very few are free. With the addition of a summer VISTA associate, 300 children will have access to a free academically enriching activity over the course of the summer (10 children at the junior docent camp, 10 students for the annual history summer camp, and the rest through additional capacity to host groups).
