The Montana Department of Commerce's PCTGP (Pilot Community Tourism Development Program) is funding the new Rocky Mountain Front Interpretive Center at the Old Trail Museum! We are currently in the architectual, surveying and engineering phase of the project, with construction scheduled to begin this summer, with project completion set for next summer.
In the meantime, The Rocky Mountain Front Interpretive Center currently resides in the OTM's "OTM Schoolhouse" building, as seen in this video above, featuring OTM Board of Trustees member and PTCGP Chairwoman Bonnie Griffis. The RMFIC showcases exhibits on wildlife, ecology, meteorology, structural geology, glaciology and more, all with a focus on our spectacular Rocky Mountain Front.
The PCTGP award for the RMFIC will also allow the OTM to utilize the OTM Schoolhouse building and other buildings to expand our current and future exhibitions. Future plans for these collections include the Schoolhouse building exhibiting "Choteau Yesteryear", highlighting human history of the region since the creation of the Old Agency on the Teton in 1868, as well as expansion of our Old North Trail exhibits and Paleontology exhibits in our main museum building.
We've got our work cut out for us, but we are excited to be a part of the PCTGP program, which will allow us to better showcase the rich natural and cultural histories of the Rocky Mountain Front region.
