Friday, October 1

Are you ready for spooky season? At the Yellowstone Art Museum, this is the time of year to glimpse beyond the art galleries and travel back through the original jail cells, solitary confinement, and even the gallows of this historic building. You will hear the stories of those who lived, died, and some who never left.

Tours will take place on the hour at 5, 6, & 7 p.m. Kids are welcome at the 5 p.m. tour, but the 6 & 7 p.m. tours are for those 16 and over only. No children under 5 are allowed on any of the tours. $10 suggested donation. Reservations are encouraged—please call 406.256.6804.

masquerade at the yam

It is with deep regret that the YAM announces the decision to cancel the Masquerade at the YAM, scheduled to take place Saturday, October 30, 2021, due to the current health crisis in our community and across the globe. In this decision, the YAM put into careful consideration the thorough reporting provided to us from our trusted local healthcare agencies as well as that of the CDC. The YAM will cancel the annual event for the second year in a row with our invaluable healthcare workers, at-risk populations, and esteemed patrons as our top priority.
