If you’re looking for hard to find, one of a kind historical computer artifacts, this is definitely the place to go. An apple I, first generation IBMs, a Turing Machine.

Great family Tarzan show! Actors and actresses were very committed to their roles and you could tell they were having fun. Opening variety show was a nice treat. Fun intermission goodies are served also! Interesting that they're moving several miles away next year. Not sure if we would make that trek so glad they're in West Yellowstone this summer.

Of course, the spirits have to be the best part of visiting a distillery. Because of the Irish influence on Butte, this place has a great selection of bourbon, rye, Irish whiskey, and single-malt whiskey. There's also grain-based vodka and gin. You ask for a tasting, and can have eight, or four and a serious drink as part of the deal. On a gray afternoon, we did the four each and ended with a traditional Martini and a Moscow mule. We were not disappointed. Midafternoon, we had the place to ourselves. Go early and stay late!

We stopped in the art gallery during a walk around the area when we arrived in Whitefish. The gorgeous flowers outside the gallery stopped me so I could take some photos. We wanted to see what was inside. There are lots of amazing pieces of art -- wood carvings, paintings, multi-media pieces and more! Much of it is large and western-centric; many items are expensive (competitively priced for what you're purchasing). The back room holds more moderately priced pieces that are easy to pack in your luggage to bring home.

I grew up in Missoula and When I visit I always seem to want to go visit the Museum. From stories about Ghostly things seen on the grounds to just Montana History itself. Can't get enough of the place and theirs a lot to see if your a history buff.
