The Montana Living History Program

---

The Mission of The Montana Living History Program is to Perpetuate the Historic Skills of our Frontier Past and to Teach, through  

 Re-enactment and Preservation, an understanding of our Rich Western Heritage

 The Montana Living History Program began in 1994 with the debut of the Queen City Belles. In 2003 work commenced on the restoration of the historic Kleffner Barn.  The Montana Wild West Fest started in 2005, and the 

organization became a 

501(3)C non-profit in 2010

Our Volunteers are experienced Re-Enactors and skilled Artisans. They have extensive knowledge of Western History, including Native American traditions.  Many Volunteers are Masters of Frontier Skills including Blacksmithing, Horsemanship, Mining and Gunsmithing
