Upcoming Events

Community Builders is Coming in July!

Our wonderful friends at Bitterroot College in Hamilton have generously allowed us to use the gymnasium for the month of July to bring you another museum experience!


Community Builders is a hands-on family experience where kids explore what makes a community thrive! Help us build a cardboard city, discover the people and places that keep communities running, and learn how everyone can play a part in creating a strong, resilient place to call home. Design, create, collaborate, and build alongside your family—because every great community starts with great ideas!

10am-5pm

Bitterroot College Gymnasium

103 S. 9th St., Hamilton
