Grand Re-Opening of The Yellowstone Gateway Museum

This weekend marks the Grand Re-Opening of the Yellowstone Gateway Museum in Livingston Montana. The museum has been closed for several months to give the place a face-lift and to upgrade the heating and cooling system. The Grand Re-Opening Celebration is scheduled for Saturday, October 29 with a ribbon cutting ceremony by the Park County Commissioners at 10:00 am. Other presentations throughout the day include:

• A Presentation by Norm Miller, Rediscovering the Lewis and Clark Trail at 11:30 am

• Visions on the Great Bend of the Yellowstone presented by Shane Doyle at 3:00 pm

Additionally there will be educational programs and entertainment for the kids. All of the days events are free and open to the public

The Yellowstone Gateway Museum is located in the old North Side School at 118 West Chinook Street. The school was built in 1907 and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Like most county museums, it’s focus is the history of Park County as well as Yellowstone National Park. The museum takes it’s name from the role Livingston played as the “Original Gateway to Yellowstone National Park.”
