Story

Located within the town of Ekalaka, this little known museum houses significant paleontological discoveries from Carter County as well as numerous artifacts depicting the lives of Native Americans and the early settlers of the area.

The Carter County Museum was founded in 1936 through the efforts of Walter H. Peck and the Carter County Geological Society. Constructed of petrified wood and locally quarried sandstone, this unique museum also holds the honor of being the first county museum founded in Montana.

Open year round with free admission, CCM is a great starting point on the Montana Dinosaur Trail.

Such a well put together museum! The kids loved to look at the fossils of the dinosaurs. I really enjoyed the US Veterans room.

Come see where the dinosaurs of the big museums come from. There are several full sized dinosaurs, a geology exhibit, local homesteader artifacts, and an informative Native American display. See millions of years of history from the local area.
