The Western Heritage Center is a regional museum whose collections, exhibits and programs tell the stories of life in the Yellowstone River Valley. Located in historic downtown Billings, the building that houses the Western Heritage Center is the former Parmly Billings Memorial Library, a Richardsonian Romanesque structure listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Accredited by the American Association of Museums and an Affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution, the Western Heritage Center provides both long term and changing exhibits with interactive components, as well as educational programs for visitors of all ages. The museum cares for over 16,000 artifacts and an extensive collection that illustrates and documents the history of the Yellowstone River Valley.
Great place to take the family for good, clean fun.
at how much fun I had at the American West Heritage Center. I was expecting to walk through a tired exhibit that was struggling for funding. Instead, I enjoyed a friendly, beautiful experience with people especially dedicated to what they do. If you’re going through Cache Valley, UT for any reason, American West Heritage Center is definitely worth a visit.
The manager and financial officer/second in command are rude and inconsiderate. They treat their volunteers horribly for all the hours they put in and run them ragged without hardly a thank you.
I look forward to baby animal days every year! So much fun!
