August Programs – TBD
Share in the Homestead Heritage of the Mission Valley and Flathead Lake area
as it is preserved in the Polson-Flathead Historical Museum. Other area museums focus on
the Native American presence in the region, but our museum focuses on the pioneers and
homesteaders who first inhabited the region. See the development of the area progress over
the years through viewing real-life exhibits such as
The Trading
Post, actually see what it was really like to shop in the only store in the region
in the 1880's!
The Flathead
"Monster"!
Marvel at the
stagecoaches and buggies that carried passengers to, through and from the Valley!
Old time Fire
Trucks!
Stand in the
middle of a true-to-life kitchen from the 'good old days' and imagine what it was like to
cook a meal, wash clothes or preserve food with few labor saving devices!
 These are examples
of just a few of the exhibits available at the PFHM. Our museum is a living, growing
institution developed in the 1960's by the Reservation Pioneers under the guidance of J.F.
"Faye" McAlear. Through the years, generous area residents, many descendants of
pioneers, have contributed artifacts and other memorabilia to make the museum what it is
today, a living example of early life in the Mission Valley. We're easy to find, just
drive down Polson's Main Street, 5 blocks from Hwy. 93, and there we are!
