History of the NRHC at Fort Missoula

The Fort Missoula Property

The physical property of Fort Missoula is comprised of nineteen historic buildings, formal open spaces, multiple tree-lined roads, and a small military cemetery, all on the National Historic Register.

The NRHC Property

In April 2000 the Northern Rockies Heritage Center received formal title to 16 acres and thirteen Historic Register buildings at Fort Missoula. The historic area now owned and supervised by NRHC includes seventeen acres upon which resides "Officers' Row"—eight elegant buildings constructed in the early 1900's for military headquarters and officers' residences— arranged in an arc around a parade ground.

The campus also includes:

the parade ground;
carriage houses;
the original water tower;
the imposing Post Headquarters building;
and the original stone powder magazine built in 1878.
