Custer Country has a lot of museums covering art, history and paleontology. Each one offers a glimpse into the past and a view of the present. Some even give us prognosticators’ ideas of the future.
We are also pleased to have a number of great displays of prehistoric animals and birds along with theories of how and why the huge behemoths existed and died in our areas. Such facilities as the Carter County Museum (www.CarterCountyMuseum-ekalaka.org) in Ekalaka and the Makoshika Dinosaur Museum (www.makoshika.com) in Glendive offer what many consider the traditional view of paleontology. Both are members of the Montana Dinosaur Trail (www.mtdinotrail.org) .
However, one of Custer Country’s newest museums is also in Glendive. The Glendive Dinosaur and Fossil Museum (www.creationtruth.com) offers a different look at paleontology than you might have been exposed to in the past. The museum is a faith-based organization that ties Biblical scripture to the existence of dinosaurs and their place in geological time.
Before visiting any of these sites, be sure and check their websites for seasonal times of operation.
