Travel Back In Time To The 1880s With A Visit To Tobacco Valley Historical Village In Montana
The Tobacco Valley is a sprawling stretch of land that occupies a good portion of Northwest Montana. This part of the Treasure State is brimming with natural beauty and local history, and sadly, it’s often overlooked. Eureka is the hub of the Tobacco Valley, which is where you’ll find the Tobacco Valley Historical Village. If you’ve never seen this perfectly preserved attraction, add it to your bucket list at once.

It sits tucked away along the Tobacco River in the northwest corner of the state.

This was one of the last areas to be developed in Montana's frontier times, and it ended up being quite the logging town for awhile.

From settlers' cabins to the old schoolhouse, these buildings tell some of the story of our past — and some date back to the late 1880s.

Most of the buildings were moved here to save them from drowning when the Libby Dam created Lake Koocanusa in the 1970s.

There's quite a bit to see in this little village.

There are also two nature trails nearby that show off the rugged beauty of the Tobacco Valley.

However, this is a strange year, so you may want to call the museum at 406-297-7654 to make sure your trip can proceed as planned.
