Engage in a time warp of sorts at the Gallatin History Museum, a small county museum that highlights different eras from the town's history, from its humble beginnings, the pioneers who first settled here, to carefully preserved artifacts, and models of age-old fortifications. In this museum complex, take a long, somber look at the town's jail and hanging gallows, before you proceed to admire the beauty of the Big Horn Gun that has possibly existed since the eighteenth century. Don't forget to pay a visit to the beautifully rendered model of old Fort Ellis and get caught up in the legacy of the Accola-Spain family as you peruse through five generations of the family's wedding ensembles. Besides featuring a diverse range of exhibits, the Gallatin History Museum also houses a photo archive with nearly 25,000 images of the past as well as a library with a special collection on Lewis and Clark.
