| 52406 In 1979, the Custer County Art Center earned the Governor's Award for best adaptation of a historic structure. | ||||
| The building was once part of the Miles City Water Works. | ||||
| There is over 7,000 square feet of exhibit and work space housed in the former water holding tanks located to the right of the brown brick building. | ||||
| The Art Center and the Custer County Cemetery have something in common... | ||||
| The Art Center tables and the cemetery arches were constructed as part of a "W.P.A." project begun in 1939. | ||||
| For those of you too young to remember, during the hardship & unemployment of 1930's "W.P.A" stood for "Put food on the table." :o) | ||||
| Thank you Miles City, for doing such a good job maintaining our seventy-year-old heritage. | ||||
