CARTER COUNTY MUSEUM

Carter County Museum was chartered in 1936, through the efforts of Walter H. Peck, DeLoss Hall, and Septon Cady and a number of interested area residents, under the auspices of the Carter County Geological Society. Carter County Museum holds the distinct honor of being the first chartered county owned museum founded within the State of Montana.... more....

 

SHIFTING SCENES VOL. IV AVAILABLE

   In 1976, the Carter County Geological Society decided to compile a family history book detailing many of the adventures of the original settlers and current residents of the area. By the time they began to put all the submissions they had received together they found that they needed to divide the work into two volumes. Thus Volumes I & II  of Shifting Scenes became a reality. The books soon became such a "must have" for anyone interested in their family history that it was soon followed by a Volume III. Today, Volumes I & II are currently out of print however, a few copies of Volume III remain available through the Museum.

   Because of the continued interest in the Shifting Scenes series, a year ago it was decided that perhaps it was time for an additional volume of Shifting Scenes to be added. In August 2010, Shifting Scenes Vol. IV was introduced and continues to receive wonderful reviews. Shifting Scenes Vol. IV, contains 554 pgs of family histories and photos. For further information concerning the availability, price, and low shipping & handling fee,  please contact the History Book Committee at e-mail: historybk@midrivers.com or the Carter County Museum at e-mail: ccmuseum@midrivers.com .
