The building was given to the city by Frederick Billings Jr., son of Frederick Billings Sr., for whom the city was named. The building served as the city's library, and, when the library moved to new headquarters, the old site was converted to the Western Heritage Center, a museum of the history and culture of the Yellowstone River region. The center also offers educational programs, tours and special cultural events. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The calendar at the end of this section includes planned activities, including the High Noon Lecture Series, First Friday Workshops and educational tours offered through the Museum Without Walls and Second Saturday Family Tours programs.
Admission is free.
