Gallatin History Museum

The building was a jail before it was a museum — and that's still the point. Constructed in 1911 and designed by Bozeman architect Fred Fielding Willson, the Gallatin County Jail held prisoners until 1982, when the county moved its detention operations and the Gallatin Historical Society took over the whole structure. The jail building sits on the National Register of Historic Places. Inside: jail cells, a hanging gallows, permanent exhibits, and a photo archive of more than 20,000 historic images available for reproduction.
