    62004 Go in and look at all the photos and Cowboy artifacts.        See what army life was like in the 1880's by visiting a fully restored "Officers Quarters" from Fort Keogh.
      Meet the friendly museum curator, Bob Barthelmess.  Bob is a walking encyclopedia of Miles City history.
      The museum hosts the "Bert Clark Gun Collection" featuring over 400 firearms.
      The firearms we liked best were the 110-year-old badly decayed rifles & handguns that were found
      laying near creek bottoms or in remote canyons.  Each rusted firearm was fully loaded with the hammer
      pulled back, ready to fire.  For some unknown reason the firearm was abandoned.  
      It makes you wonder what happened to the original owner.
 
 
 
 
     
   
   
   
      While you're visiting the museum you can also see the artwork of a modern day Miles City hero, Jim Masterson.
      Artist Jim Masterson's cartoon series called, "It Happened in Montana," is responsible for triggering an
      interest in Montana history for thousand of youngsters growing up in the Montana.
