Phillips County Museum

    Along with the typical donations from local families, the museum also has a collection of items purchased from Joshua Wetsit, a chief of the Assiniboine tribe which includes a rare elk hide teepee.  Other exhibits cover ranching, farming, trophy hunting, the construction of Fort Peck dam, railroads, and different aspects of early settlers lives. One unusual exhibit tells the story of a local man and his wife who survived the sinking of the Titanic.

    In the annex building a small scale 1915 street has been created complete with architectural details from buildings in neighboring towns. A restored 1924 Sears catalog home is located on the museum grounds and the machine yard across the street displays old tractors, plows, balers, sprayers, windmills, trucks, train cars, and other equipment.

    Most of the exhibits in the main museum are accessible. The Sears home is not accessible due to steps. The annex building is accessible. It’s kept locked so an employee must accompany visitors and can help with the entry door. The machine yard has many obstacles – the boardwalks do not meet flush with the paved walkways, there’s a high threshold at the covered shed, and the homesteader’s house has a step so it’s not possible to peek in the window.

   There's plenty of parking on the street where RVs will fit.  Museum  48.20423, -106.64071
