JeffCo Museum hosts new exhibit

From October 2022 to February 2023, the Jefferson County Museum plans to look back at the history of Glacier National Park with an exhibit of antique photographs curated by collector Lee Silliman, with Silliman himself presenting a lecture associated with the exhibit on Oct. 1 at 3 p.m.

Silliman’s lecture, titled “Glacier National Park: Its Early History,” reflects on the Park’s Native American days through the 1940s. 

Silliman told The Monitor that the Glacier exhibit is an offshoot of his larger traveling exhibit “The Wondrous West,” which focuses on how art was used to lure tourists to the west.
