About Powder River Historical Museum
The museum is open seasonally from June - August. Entrance is free of charge and supported by donations.
Visit the best kept secret in southeast Montana! Our collection has such variety that there is something for every interest and taste. It contains many valuable historical collections, including photos and books, Indian artifacts, vintage clothing & household items, old guns and ammunition, pre-1900 buggies, vintage autos, tractors and farm implements, and western heritage. Our "Town" contains snapshots of the past from local businesses including the soda fountain, barber shop and post office. A prized acquisition are battlefield artifacts from the Reynolds Campaign in 1876 - a forerunner of Custer's last stand.

What an unbelievable collection of US frontier history! Driving through Southeast Montana (hwy 212)… don’t just drive through, STOP at this true jewel. Hundreds, if not thousands, of items that share the history of this region. Guaranteed to enlighten and intrigue your curiosity!
