Informational hearings on public issues, like candidate forums, have been held at the museum. We ve even had marriages in the old courtroom. All this for a nominal fee to support the museum. The Emporium features items unique to the Bitterroot. Many are created by local artists and craftspeople.
Volunteers are eligible for further discounts.
Providing opportunities for locals, visitors, and new comers to learn about the Bitterroot s history and culture is one of the Society s basic missions. Other volunteers enjoy learning about caring for artifacts, computers, video production, and managing special events. Some have gone on to careers in these areas. Others have put what they learn at the museum to work in other community organizations. Another way Bitterrooters use the Ravalli County Museum is as a performance center.
