The Hamilton Farmer's Market becomes the museum's supporter during the annual Apple Day festival each October. For this event the market is open to any and all vendors who pay their booth fees to the museum. This event brings in nearly 200 vendors offering a huge variety of crafts and merchandise. Apple Day is a major fund-raiser for the museum which sells hundreds of locally made apple pies and fresh pressed apple juices. It is truly one of the major events in the Bitterroot Valley, drawing crowds from all over. Amazing the crush of people. Originally the county court house, the Ravalli County Museum maintains this late 1800s building and the exhibits. The Ravalli County Historical Society serves as the board of directors for the museum. Come by, meet the ball of energy Tamar and enjoy glimpses of rural Montana's past. Many of the exhibits and stories are donated by locals, many of which still live in the valley, many of which are still active in supporting he community. Thanks, Tamar. You have been doing a great job.

Smokejumpers have a perilous duty, to fight wildfires deep in the back country where little equipment or people can reach. That is to say unless you want to jump out of a plane that is! The Missoula Smokejumpers Visitor center gives you a brief history of what their profession entails, it's history, technological advancements and a glimpse at a firefighter that gets to experience fighting fires on a whole other level. Born from this location in 1939 (first tested in 1935) Missoula is the founding site of Smokejumpers in the US forestry service. Gwynn our tour guide showed us around the Region 1 center for Smokejumpers and fire center. Seeing how these brave souls live, practice and develop the needed skills to do the incredible things that they do was astounding. Mind you this is a very small visitor center at the tail end of the Missoula commuter airport runway (not attached to the terminal). The guided tour will last roughly 30min or so but you're more than welcome to tour the visitor center and explore and learn some interesting facts about the legacy of this profession. I am grateful to the brave men and women for all the work they do (which is more than just firefighting including search & rescue among other tasks) to get the job done. I commend you all and God bless the work you do.
