Garden of the Rockies Museum
We are closed for the season, until June 2020. We are so grateful to all the folks who donated time, money and materials to help us have another successful season. Please watch for our spring projects, which we will need community help with. We are particularly in need of help next summer with grounds maintenance. So, if you can help in that area, we would sure like to hear from you. Anyone interested in volunteering in any capacity is asked to contact Patti at 406-676-3261.

The People’s Center Museum, Gift Shop and Culture Center
The People’s Center celebrates the Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes’ histories, as we existed long ago and still today, and with our relationship to the environment.
The People’s Center is more than a museum; it is a dramatic illustration of living history through demonstrations of traditional Salish, Pend d’Oreille and Kootenai tribal culture, tribal arts and crafts, live and recorded performances, a repository of artifacts and historic collections, a cultural education center and a place for exhibitions of authentic Native American history.
Please stop in and visit our museum, gift shop and staff, Mondays-Thursdays, from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. We have changed our days open until the end of May - we are closed Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
We are accepting school, groups and individual appointments for museum tours and education programs. Call 406-675-0160 for more information and look for us on Facebook “The People’s Center” or www.peoplescenter.org.
