New signs installed at the Heritage Museum in Libby

October 25, 2017
Thanks to a grant from the Montana History Foundation (MHF), headquartered in Helena, the Heritage Museum in Libby has 72 new signs installed for their outdoor artifacts. A total of 45 additional signs are planned to be installed before the Museum re-opening in the Spring 2018.
Museum volunteer Marge Kroeger has been working all summer with the Museum’s Exhibits, Archives, and Buildings & Grounds Committees to research historical descriptions for 120 of the Museum’s outdoor artifacts. Only a couple of the Museum’s old outdoor wooden, paper, and glass signs remained and they were beyond repair. Now thanks to the grant from MHF, visitors can read the name and a description for each artifact. The new signs are printed and laminated on weather-resistant aluminum solid core composite. This new signage greatly enhances each visitor’s knowledge of Libby’s rich history and offers them a more complete and meaningful experience when they visit the Museum grounds. Thanks to the new signage some visitors who were born and raised in Libby, and visited the Museum this summer, discovered items which they knew were used by their parents, grandparents, or great-grandparents.
