Isn’t it fun to learn a little history about the place you live?
A dive down a rabbit hole turned up some fun Missoula facts we had to share.
From streetcars to floods to a 1,900-mile bicycle expedition that started at Fort Missoula, there’s a lot to uncover.
And if this sends you down your own local history rabbit hole, there are some great walking tours downtown and plenty to explore at Fort Missoula too. Missoula’s history has a little bit of everything: the good, the bad, the weird, and the ugly.
What’s your favorite bit of Missoula history?
