RIC KUSS BEND, OREGON in size from six feet to 40. Another "can't miss" are the numerous vehicles lifted on poles. Libby is home to the Ignite the Nights Car Show, an annual event since 1961. History buffs should be sure to visit the Heritage Museum in Libby and the Tobacco Valley Historical Village in Eureka. The Heritage Museum is housed in an unusual log building, a dodecagon of logs. It is the only 12-sided building in Montana, built with hand-peeled and notched indigenous western larch and lodgepole pine. Opened in 1978, the museum houses 41 displays including Native American life; logging, railroad, and natural history; the artwork of Roy D. Porter; and the unnatural history foisted on the community by W.R. Grace and the Zonolite Corporation. Vermiculite mined in the Libby area has brought asbestosis to the people of Libby and Troy, and a 20-year EPA cleanup that just ended in 2019. The museum grounds also display numerous larger exhibits. The Tobacco Valley Historical Village in Eureka is a collection of histor- ic Lincoln County buildings relocated to a site on the south side of the city. Buildings are furnished in a period-accurate fashion and include a church, a library, a train station, a general store and several houses. Whatever your interests, there is much to see and do in Lincoln County, Montana. IT IS DISORIENTING TO BE AT MONTANA'S LOWEST POINT WHEN YOU'RE SURROUNDED BY MOUNTAINS RISING 5,000 TO 6,000 FEET ABOVE YOU.
