Northwest Montana History Museum invites visitors to explore the people, places, and stories that shaped Kalispell and the Flathead Valley. Housed in the historic 1894 Central School building, one of Kalispell’s oldest public buildings, the museum features exhibits on American Indian culture, regional history, the former town of Demersville, and Montana’s timber industry. Explore local artifacts and historical displays, then stop by the School Bell Books & Gifts Store for books and gifts. Operated by the nonprofit Northwest Montana Historical Society, the museum preserves the region’s heritage while offering cultural and educational experiences for residents and travelers. Its elegant historic rooms are also available for community events. Historical Downtown Kalispell walking tours are typically available June through August.
