Founded in 1972, the Cascade County Historical Society administers a history museum, an archives, and a rather extensive educational program. The museum, which has over 95,000 objects in its permanent collection, offers changing interpretive exhibits that tell the stories of the individuals and groups who have added to the diversity of the Central Montana region. The archives is a repository for photographs, newspapers, records and ledgers. It also houses special collections of homesteading research, immigration records, and tax records. A gift shop showcases regional books and gifts.
The museum is located on historic Machinery Row. It can be reached by turning north off 10th Avenue South onto 2nd Street South and traveling north on 2nd Street to the museum's location at 422 2nd Street South.
