Great stop while visiting Bozeman. Fun for school aged children as well. The young man working there who is going to the University was an awesome tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, answered all questions without hesitation, was very friendly and welcoming. Very inexpensive. Highly recommend.

Very cool museum. Shows the hard grit of what the old jail used to be with a creepy solitary confinement chamber. Gallows used but once and shows harsh reality of a very early jail. Very cool exhibits. Loved it and for $10 was a great visit. Well worth the time and fee. Loved it!!

There is a lot of fascinating history recorded about the local area and this part of Montana. Spent about 1:30 here looking at all the displays and information. Very friendly staff got us on our way with some brief information.

Great way to kill an hour AND learn about the area. Cool diorama of Fort Ellis too.

A great unexpected museum with over-the-top architecture for a former. county jail. A number of. interesting exhibits related to its storied past with its inmates. But then it has tons. of things pertaining to life in Bozeman's earlier days right on up to its photographic legacy encapsulated with a myriad of old cameras, radios, and. recording devices. A. real treat!!
