Gallatin History Museum

There is a lot of fascinating history recorded about the local area and this part of Montana. Spent about 1:30 here looking at all the displays and information. Very friendly staff got us on our way with some brief information.

Great stop while visiting Bozeman. Fun for school aged children as well. The young man working there who is going to the University was an awesome tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, answered all questions without hesitation, was very friendly and welcoming. Very inexpensive. Highly recommend.

A great unexpected museum with over-the-top architecture for a former. county jail. A number of. interesting exhibits related to its storied past with its inmates. But then it has tons. of things pertaining to life in Bozeman's earlier days right on up to its photographic legacy encapsulated with a myriad of old cameras, radios, and. recording devices. A. real treat!!

Very cool museum. Shows the hard grit of what the old jail used to be with a creepy solitary confinement chamber. Gallows used but once and shows harsh reality of a very early jail. Very cool exhibits. Loved it and for $10 was a great visit. Well worth the time and fee. Loved it!!

Outstanding presentation by Kerlahn(sp), very informative!!!!!! very good use of old jail building!!!! Great reading, photos, myth and truth mix! Good for another visit! Pioneer cabin with voices retelling history- nice touch! Loved the presence of skeletons as they moved into the Halloween Season with Halloween Trees!

Superb Museum of Regional History! It's also within walking distance from most of Main St, it's affordable, and it's fun. Frontier life and law enforcement will command your attention once you're inside. While visiting Bozeman, you should prioritize a visit here. Allow yourself a couple of hours though, as you'll easily get lost chasing your imagination around in this converted jailhouse...especially at the gallows and the intense local history surrounding it. And then there's... That Rope 😳 Now imagine that trap door..."snapping down", and then...⚰️ Frontier life & the enforcement of "the law" Twas a tad different back then, wow

Had the chance to visit today and recommend stopping in. As the old County Jail, lots of history, as well as history of Bozeman events, historical figures and personalities. The docents were pleasant and really available to share history.

An interesting small local museum in the old county jail. Not expensive to visit and easy parking out front. Lots of jail history exhibits but also lots of pioneer history. A few things kids can touch so great for families. Run by volunteers and self supported. Great bookstore with lots of local history as well as western, cowboy and Yellowstone. They also have Montana cookbooks.
