Montana - Historical Museum at Fort Missoula Drummond Depot

Missoula, MT - Drummond Depot 1910
Constructed in 1910, by the Chicago, Milwaukee, St.Paul and Pacific Railroad Company, this Milwaukee Road depot served the town of Drummond, about 60 miles southeast of Missoula. The depot was moved to the Fort in 1982 after the railroad closed its Montana operations. It has been restored with assistance from the Missoula Model Railroad Club. An exhibit inside the depot, including the John Barrows Memorial Ticket Office, interprets the history of railroad transportation in western Montana.

Engine No.7 1931
Engine No. 7 is a rare, Shay-type locomotive originally used by the Western Lumber Company of Milltown, Montana. It was later featured in the locally produced movie, Timberjack. It was donated to the museum by Champion International Inc. in 1989.

Trolley Barn 2007
The Trolley Barn houses the Museum's restored interurban streetcar that ran from Fort Missoula to Bonner from 1912 to 1932; a 1918 American-La France fire engine; and the Blackfoot Stagecoach.
