POLSON — February’s program showing “Timberjack” was a huge success with 80 people in attendance. Treats and visiting followed the film and free will offerings exceeded our goal to make a new sign for the logging cook shack which was pre-owned by the lumber division of Anaconda Mining Company. Excess monies will go towards upgrading the Green Mountain schoolhouse sign. Later calls wondered if we would show “Timberjack” again. It may be shown during the Live History Days celebration the third weekend in July.
The next free program will be Thursday, March 12 at 6:30 p.m. Guests will be able to meet noted area photographer Herman Schnitzmeyer, played by Dennis Kellog, avid collector and historian with a particular interest in this unusual and talented area photographer of the 1919s and 1920s. Dennis has amassed quite an impressive collection of original photo equipment pre-owned by Herman and will exhibit many rare photos. An educational, historic and enjoyable evening are promised. Early comers will be able to view some of the museum’s photo collection and another camera also pre-owned by Schnitzmeyer. Treats and donations are welcome. For more information, call Gil Mangels on his work phone at (406) 883-6264.
