Walk this way to know Kalispell! Join the Downtown Kalispell Walking Tour organized by the Northwest Montana History Museum. Walks begin at 10 a.m. every Monday, June through September; private tours also are available.
Researched and organized by the staff and volunteers of the Northwest Montana History Museum, the walking tour shows how Kalispell evolved into the cultural, economic, and transportation hub of Montana’s Flathead Valley. The ADA-accessible 90-minute tour covers approximately one mile, making more than two dozen stops amid 30-plus highlighted buildings that tell the story of Kalispell’s history and people.
Walkers learn about architectural styles and modern reuse while hearing the stories of prominent citizens and early settlers including how a bison herd could buy a city block, and where to spot ghost signs.
All walks begin and end at the Northwest Montana History Museum, 124 Second Ave. East, Kalispell, MT 59901. The tour is sponsored in part by the Foundation for Montana History. Proceeds benefit the Northwest Montana History Museum and its preservation and presentation of regional history.
The tour is recommended for ages 10 and up. Museum admission is included with each ticket for the walking tour. Tickets are $20 for adults, $18 for seniors/veterans/college students, children $10 to $15 for depending on age. Children under 4 are free. A signed waiver, provided on-site, is required to participate in the tour.
