Community Events

The Montana Historical Society hosts community events on a wide variety of topics relating to the Treasure State’s history and culture. 

We are celebrating the opening of the Montana Heritage Center with a multi-day series of events in partnership with the Helena community June 25-28, 2026. Learn more about the events being planned on the Montana History Celebration page.

Community events throughout the year include a lecture series, summer walking tours, hands-on history workshops, family and kids programs, open houses, interactive games, special holiday events, and more. Every fall, the Society also holds its annual Montana History Conference.
