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
