The Best Museums in Montana
- Lewis & Clark National Historic Trail Interpretive Center (Great Falls, MT; tel. 406/727-8733; www.fs.fed.us/r1/lewisclark/lcic): This offers a great perspective on the Corps of Discovery, from its conception back East to its endpoint at the mouth of the Columbia River at the Pacific Ocean. Films, lectures, and demonstrations are among the offerings.
- Museum of the Rockies (Bozeman, MT; tel. 406/994-3466): The centerpiece of this first-rate museum is the fabulous dinosaur exhibit. The exhibit, which just had a stellar makeover, has made the place one of the premier paleontological attractions in the world.
