Celebrating the history of Gallatin County and the surrounding region. Admission - Adults-$7.50, Seniors-$5.00, Military-$5.00, Children 12 and under-FREE, Gallatin Historical Society Members-FREE
The Gallatin Historical Society, founded in 1977, moved into two rooms in the county jail building in 1979. Built in 1911, the jail was already considered an historic structure. When prisoners were moved to new quarters in January 1982, the county commissioners granted the Society use of the entire building for the Pioneer Museum.
In 2014 the membership voted in favor of changing the name to Gallatin History Museum to better reflect the collection and better serve the community.
Since 1982, the Gallatin History Museum has offered a variety of changing exhibits portraying earlier days in the Gallatin Valley. GHM is also active with an ambitious outreach program, sending exhibits of photographs and artifacts to fairs, banks, schools, and conferences.
Museum admission costs $5.00 per person, with school groups, members and children under 12 admitted without charge.
An extensive research library and photographic archive are available, free of charge, to visitors during regular museum hours. Many of our historical photographs are available for purchase, along with the wonderful items in the museum bookstore.
