Always interesting and well-researched exhibits. Historic building was citys first library. Participates in ArtWalk Downtown Billings in even-numbered months.

Lovely facility. We spent a good hour or more going through Billings history, a wonderful Native American section, and a very detailed area about the Yellowstone fire in 1988. Stunning photos!

Very informative and quite good for a smaller museum. Our guide was quite pleasant to talk to as well.

Gorgeous building and very well informed guides at the entry. Small museum inside and can be done in one hour. Check out the art displays as they are impactful. Take photos outside as the building itself is lovely and easy to walk to downtown.

A nice little museum. Pretty small and very low key, but some very interesting displays. Located in the old public library, a very cool building. Potential to be fabulous, but probably a pretty slim budget, reflected in the quality of the exhibits. Great selection of Montana lore & literature books in the gift shop!

Small place. Nice people. They had some new cell crow nation art. The heritage museum is actually in the old library building

A great center to go to among other amazing historical locations in Billings. Fun fact is that the Heffner Stone Quarry, which once was located where the college is now on 27th Street, was the place that provided the sand stone for that building. All of the sandstone came from the foot of the Rims. The sandstone of the Heffner Stone Quarry was certified to last 100 years. Another fun fact is that Heffner Steps located just to the right of 27th Street was created by that company.

Wonderful exhibition of classic Western artifacts open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday closed on Sunday and Monday across the street from Western pawn broker and also the Far West Gallery is situated on historic Montana Avenue in downtown Billings theres a statue of the founder of the city in the courtyard with some classic architecture -- highly recommended

Would love to have learned about the Center but instead was followed around the entire building and talked to by the 1 staff person present. She was more about taking to fill the silence then letting you just read and learn for yourself. Very unimpressive.

Fun flavors from the old Wild West! History helps to get a perspective on how we got where we are, choices we now have, and who we can be, while we are getting, wherever there turns out to be, or not.

Brought in friends from Australia and was HIGHLY disappointed it use to have alot of Native American as well as the Heritage of people around Billings now it has barely any displays and alot of pictures of farmers and Beet Farming not much history in what we paid for .... Highly Disappointed... not worth the $25 we paid at this point I would not recommend this museum go to the Museum at the Airport much more to see
