Red Lodge, MT

Do you love history and looking for an interesting thing to do in Red Lodge?

You should visit the Carbon County Historical Society and Museum!

The mission of the museum is to preserve and communicate the history of the Carbon County area.

The museum is located at 224 North Broadway, on the corner of Broadway and 8th Street. It houses many old artefacts and pieces of history gathered from all over the County. You will be amazed by the incredible wealth of history and archives offered at the museum. My favorite is the interactive coal and hard rock mine exhibit on the mining in the area along with a replica of a mining tunnel in the basement of the building.

There are also exhibits on the American indians and homesteaders. The museum is also the home to Carbon County Rodeo champions and includes the Greenough and Linderman rodeo collections, the Waples family gun and projectile point collection, the Carbon County archives, and much more.

If you like books or want to purchase a souvenir or gift, make sure to stop by the Mercantile Museum Store or gift shop which is located on the main floor by the entrance of the building. They have plenty of Carbon County, Montana and Old West historical books as well as DVD's. You can also shop and buy online.

To get a better appreciation of Red Lodge and Carbon County, you need to learn a little bit of history and there is no better place to view and learn about it than at the museum. No visit to Red Lodge is complete without a visit to this beautiful museum. The staff is very friendly and will be delighted to show you around and/or help you with any historic research.

It is the beginning of another wonderful week. The deers were up early as usual. Here's a couple of them I captured at dawn.

It's Good to Be Here!!

Do you see a little orange in the sky (bottom right of previous picture)?

Here it is a glimpse more of the sky this morning.

Make it a magnificent Monday and a great week!

One of the things I enjoy doing more since living in Red Lodge is to look at the stars at night. It is very difficult to capture and show you this. No photo can do justice to the feeling you get at looking at a clear sky at night and seeing the multitude of shining stars. I did manage to take the following photo to show you the peaceful scenery at night time. Good night and sweet dreams from Red Lodge!

This is the fourth and final part of a series of four posts on the Beartooth Scenic Byway. If you want to see the first post, click on the following link: Highway to Heaven - Don't Pass this Up! (if you follow the links in the first three posts, you will get back to here).

Not only have I seen some beautiful vegetation, flowers and views along the 57 miles from Red Lodge to Cooke City on the Beartooth Highway but I also ran across a couple of unexpected animal appearances.

The first was by the following marmot standing on the edge of a rock cliff.

The second, even more fascinating to watch, was the following red fox trying to catch his prey underneath the snow.

This completes the little bit of history and some of the magnificent views encountered in my most recent drive on the Beartooth Pass. Stay tuned for the next series of posts which will be on the Yellowstone National Park!
