The Northwest Montana History Museum is proud to announce the next Movie Night at the Museum on Monday, June 28, with the 1937 Laurel and Hardy classic Way Out West!

Upstanding citizens Stan (Stan Laurel) and Ollie (Oliver Hardy) have been entrusted to deliver the deed to a lucrative gold mine to a woman named Mary, the daughter of a deceased prospector. A typical plot for a rootin’ tootin’ Western, you may say. And you’d be correct. But if you think the plan proceeds without a hitch, you haven’t seen many Laurel and Hardy pics.

Over the course of three decades, from 1921 to 1951, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy made 106 films together. These films range from shorts to full length features and are notable for beginning in the "silent" era of film before transitioning to music and sound effects, finally becoming "talkies" beginning in 1929.

TO ADDRESS COVID 19 - We are taking several precautions to make sure that a Museum visit during these uncertain times will not adversely effect the health of our visitors:
All public fixtures in the Museum (hand rails, door knobs, bathroom components, interactive exhibits) will be regularly and repeatedly sanitized on a daily basis

Of course, everyone is always welcome at the Northwest Montana History Museum. However, if you have a cough, a fever, or are just feeling under the weather, we kindly ask that you visit us some other time; not only for your own health, but for the well-being of our staff and other supporters.

There is no charge for the film, and donations will be accepted to help defray the cost of showing the films. The movie and popcorn are free; wine, beer, pop and water will be for sale. Seating is provided, but film fans can bring their own floor pillows, portable chairs, or whatever is comfortable for viewing the film.

The Northwest Montana History Museum is located at 124 2nd Ave E., Kalispell. Call 406- 756-8381 for more information.
