‘A Visit with Teddy Roosevelt’ program June 1st at the Heritage Museum by Heritage Museum May 18, 2013 The Heritage Museum will host Humanities Montana Speakers Bureau program, "A Visit with Teddy Roosevelt" with Arch Ellwein on Saturday, June 1, the museum’s 2013 opening day. The program will be in the Beebe Room of the Heritage Museum, 34067 US Highway 2, Libby, at 1:00 PM. The presentation is free and open to the public. Partial funding for the Speakers Bureau program is provided by a legislative grant from Montana’s Cultural Trust and from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Meet the vibrant 26th president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt. Even Roosevelt’s critics admired the man who took on the corporate trusts, charged up San Juan Hill, defied the party "bosses," built the Panama Canal, defined conservation and won a Nobel Peace Prize. Hear his views on conservation, agriculture, and democracy, all shaped by his Western experience. Portrayed by Arch Ellwein, President Roosevelt talks of his experiences in Montana as a rancher and sportsman. Following his "press conference" the actor/ historian will come out of character for further discussion. Acclaimed performer and historian Arch Ellwein, of Sydney, Montana, has toured a dozen states portraying Theodore Roosevelt. A Montana native, Ellwein was a well-known radio broadcaster in northeastern Montana and North Dakota before retiring. The museum will open at 10:00 AM on June 1, and programs, demonstrations and activities will start soon after. The cookhouse will be serving burgers, cold drinks, pie and more. A complete schedule of events and times will be available on the website: www.libbyheritagemuseum.org. For more information, please call The Heritage Museum at 406-293-7521.
