Welcome to oldmissoula.com. I have created this Website for several reasons. First, I will try to explore parts of Missoula’s history that are often overlooked. I will explore events and people in more depth than you might ordinarily find in your travels and I will include some that did not evoke any public notoriety at all. I plan to examine subjects that I want to investigate personally and I will offer what I learn on this website.
Another objective is to provide information about links and tools that anyone with access to the Internet can use to do research on their own. Access to historical information has exploded in the past few years. You can now access information that at one time was not available to the average person with a mere keystroke on your PC. I hope I can make it easier for you to take advantage of this.
