Things to do in Missoula, Montana (MT): The Best Gift & Specialty Shops
Peacefully tucked away in the heart of the northern Rocky Mountains, Missoula is the perfect spot for a weekend of history, culture and outdoor fun. Home to the University of Montana, one of the most architecturally distinguished academic institutions in the country, the city offers a number of intellectually stimulating attractions. Spend a few hours browsing through the exhibits at the Art Museum of Missoula or take a trip back in time at the Historical Museum at Fort Missoula. The city's close proximity to three major rivers and acres of lush forest means visitors can also enjoy a host of recreational activities, from fly fishing and kayaking to hiking and biking. Missoula's historic downtown area has classic early-century buildings and boasts unique shops, galleries, fine dining and a lively nightlife. With kids in tow, don't miss Dragon Hollow, a magical playground that features an extraordinary hand-carved carousel.

Wow, so many great items but at very expensive prices. You can find anything you want but it will break your pocketbook. Great store on a side street in the town of Missoula. Granted their merchandise is top shelf but prices are high. Street parking is hot or miss. Great to check it out though.

We visited The Book Exchange while following the Lewis and Clark Trail. As we entered the store, we first noticed the fantastic displays featuring books by local authors. A variety of books were available including local history, geography, and sites of interest. The display also included local authors of poetry, fiction, and biographies/memoirs. We were delighted by the attractively merchandized options. In addition the book store staff are warm and welcoming. Thanks for a great visit.
