September 10, 2014 | Leave a Comment
Frontier Gateway Museum is located in Glendive, Montana. The museum offers free admission to visitors and provides a unique experience for visitors. Tourists will view blacksmith equipment, country stores, a historical school, see log cabins, wagons, and more.
The Golden Valley School was used in the early 1900s. Visitors will actually see some of the original furniture used during this time. The very first log cabin used in the city is also on display; the building was also used as a post office at one time. The cabin also holds items which were used in that time period.
Outside displays are set up for visitors to enjoy as well as indoor displays. Indoor displays include dress displays, uniforms from military personnel, musical displays, sewing displays, and armor. A basement houses recreation items of early shops including the Bee Hive Store and the Douglas Meed general store.
The museum offers an acre of land which houses seven different buildings. Each building offers insights into prehistoric times through the years. Display categories include Native American History, Railroad History, Millinery History, Fossils, as well as Photography (just to name a few).
Frontier Gateway Museum is just one museum to add to your list of places to see in Montana. History is richly preserved throughout the state. Tourists and visitors enjoy not only the view of Montana skies, but the history which speaks of days past!
