Let’s come forward to move forward as a county

I’m all for the mill levy to support history and our county museum.

Support for Zumbrun

The statement from the Absarokee School Board is extremely misleading and twists words worthy of a Washington politician. The statement makes it appear that Mr. Zumbrun has done something wrong.

Vote no on museum district issue

Yep! When money is needed property owners are the target.

MOB has grown, improved

I have lived in Stillwater County for 57 years. Our family history in Stillwater County started in the late 1800s when our grandparents moved to the county from Norway and settled in the Absarokee area. They homesteaded in 1908. Stillwater has always been a big part of my life.

About 10 years ago I was asked to become a board member of the Museum of the Beartooths. This has been an interesting and enlightening experience. The museum has much to offer. Everyone should take the time to experience what the museum has to offer.

Say yes to museum district

As a historian, I have prepared numerous National Register of Historic Places nominations for historic properties within Stillwater County from the Atlas Bar to the Dean School.

Vote yes on museum district — for the past and future

I am not a native Stillwater County resident, but was fortunate to meet and marry a Columbus boy with deep roots, figuratively and literally, in this country. One of the biggest factors at play when Phil and I decided to move to Columbus nine years ago was the idea that our kids could grow up in the same country as their dad and the generations before him.

Vote yes on the museum district to preserve history

To collect, preserve, and share the rich history of the Stillwater County Area — that is the mission of the Museum of the Beartooths.

Museum district needed

I am taking this means to give a public thank you to John Patterson and Maurie Petterson for their comments last week about the value of our Stillwater history in the Museum.

The value of the MOB and why a district is needed

Our history and our stories define our culture. We are who we are because of what we do and what we tolerate and we learn this through our history and stories.

A museum district will preserve our history

It had to have been about Oct. 10, 1919. Winter had come early to Stillwater County with lots of snow and cold. The icy chill followed a brutally hot dry summer and served as a stark reminder that Montana was a land of extremes.
