Stories and Stones
One of Missoula's oldest cemeteries presents an afternoon of living history. Journey into the past as volunteers in period costume narrate life stories of individuals from Missoula's past. We invite you to come enjoy this vastly popular family event, and we thank you for your generous donations that continue to sponsor this walking tour.
Stories and Stones was the 2017 recipient of the Dorothy Ogg Historic Preservation Award.
