Bill Whitfield is our resident history “know it all.” If you need to know a piece of history, he can tell you about it. When he’s not in the archives room, you’ll find him either in the collections vaults, or helping create exhibits, or give tours…
He is also a published author, having written and published “Montana Ghost Towns and Gold Camps” and “The Ram’s Horn Medicine Tree and Other Stories of Western Montana.” (Stoneydale Press) Both are available in the Museum’s Gift Shop.
“Time moves forward through life, but history allows us to stop the clock and turn back the hands of time. Every day I come into the Museum, I have the opportunity to glimpse the past… it’s like having my very own time machine!”
