MISSION:
The mission of the Beaverhead County Museum is to collect and preserve the natural, physical and human history of Beaverhead County, Montana, and to ensure this history is made accessible to all people.

VISION:
The vision of the Beaverhead County Museum is to keep open a window to our collective past by preserving the history of Beaverhead County through its extensive and growing collection of the objects, the documents of its people and the land, and by sharing it with others through displays, research facilities and programs.

The past is important to us because it helps us share the experiences of those who have gone before us; the present because this is the time in which we live; and the future, because of those who will look to us through what we have preserved of our life and times. A strong and progressive museum, and its attendant facilities, such as the theater, research facilities, and active collection procedures, assure that not only visions of the past but also of the present will be preserved and shared with residents and visitors alike.

More than a collection of objects, papers and photographs, the Museum provides the opportunity for service, education and entertainment, and is a positive economic influence on the community and county, drawing thousands of visitors each year.

Public ownership and operation of the Museum through Beaverhead County, is a proven way to assure permanence for its historical collections. Its close association with the Beaverhead County Museum Association will continue to provide opportunities for individuals to have a personal relationship with the museum, its activities, events and avenues of volunteer service.
