It is in the Neoclassical style and made with native Montana sandstone. The building has an iron dome with a clock tower that has a two ton bell that rings on the half hour and is surrounded by clocks on all four sides. The interior of the building has a ground floor rotunda under an ornate dome. I did not have the opportunity to tour the inside today. On the grounds of the courthouse, a concrete bandshell and a bronze World War I memorial featuring a "doughboy." [Review 20828 overall - 90 in Montana - 1812 of 2023.]

One of the things I LOVE about Yelp, is the ability to review a city. Yes, I looked for Missoula,…read morein the top box. Up pops this listing. EDIT: Missoula, was changed to 'Missoula County', after this review was posted. I will try and find another home for it. So, after seven plus months in Missoula, what's to hate/love, what are the pro's and con's? For starters, Missoula is nothing more than a train yard, and university town. It has nothing else going for it. Yellowstone tourism is too far away. It fits the model of a city, whose residents are full of themselves. Let me explain: When someone lives in poverty, they tend to create a clique, that says - straight back to religious altruism, austerity - ,If you are not poor in the way we are poor, you are an outsider.' Now, no one with money AND a wealth mentality, has time for that petty and trivializing attitude. So they don't live here, by and large, and instead have been happy to leave the area to religious freaks, and the Hollywood Trailer Park. If you ever wanted to see a derilict example of meth and other drug infestation, and the epitomy of poverty - I am not making fun of their access to currency - then look at the Hollywood Trailer Park. Nestled between the (north) end of Russel and the Bistro on Burns, this atomic eye-sore is all anyone needs to point to, to indicate the kind of poverty in Missoula. And to be clear, I am not talking about money, solely. I have the attitude that, the money follows the attitude. So even a person with a wealthy attitude, stands a better chance than one without, almost regardless of their access to currency. Money will not fix Missoula. And the momentum has ensured that the PDX-type rejects, who have a strong adherance to the same philosophy, have migrated here. Bringing their ,agnostic' religious austerity, and militantly enforced norm. It's simply uncool in their eyes.

I'm scratching my head about the other review about Missoula. Quite the rant is all I'll say…read more I only got check out Missoula a little bit and it was still pretty cold out so I'm willing to bet like any small town like this, it's way livelier in the summer. From what I saw though I could tell it's a happenin' little place and could see totally hanging out here. When I think of Montana as a whole, I think being more or less in solitude, being in the wilds and endless outdoor adventures if that's your thing. That's all here but it's mixed in with Missoula. It starts with the trendy and funky local shops and an awesome art and music scene. We walk into Veera Donuts for example and the staff are bopping around to Blackstreet, while the walls are lined with 90's vinyl then have a Donut mural of Kurt Cobain right outside. Then go over to TacoSano and they're playing some SZA, then Soundgarden. lots of breweries, bars, shops, bakeries, and yeah, it's a college town housing University of Montana. To me that's great, having grown up in a college town. It brings life, attention and money to the area. Off the main strip it quiets down with modest houses and nice wide streets for a calm looking neighborhood. Not sure if or when I'll find myself out this way again but if you're looking for a little more than mountains, hiking and all the rest in Montana, make a pass-through Missoula.

Great city if you like hiking,hunting and fishing also has lots of restaurants and hotels. It's a…read morecollege town but not real wild like some nice place to visit

If held outside you could potentially handle a very large group. The interior is pleasant but a bit too small for a typical wedding reception of over 100 guests. At the reception we attended there was not enough room for the food service, bar, dining and dance area. Everything was sort of squished together. We still had a good time and made it work. Take some care in determining all you want to do if you use this facility. The bathrooms are downstairs which would pose a problem for some guests.
