THE HERITAGE MUSEUM
The Heritage Museum, located on Highway 2 one half mile south
of Libby, has displays on local area history and wildlife exhibits. The museum is a 12-sided log structure, 130
feet in diameter completed and manned entirely through volunteer labor. A shay stream locomotive that was used
by the J. Neils Lumber Company at the turn of the century stands in front of the building. Inside exibits include
historical information about the Kootenai Indians, early trappers, lumbermen, women, and miners who came to the
area. Many unique wildlife exibits are on display including a silver-tipped grizzly bear, bald eagles, deer, and
other animals that can be found in the area.
