Carter County Museum was chartered in 1936, through the efforts of Walter H. Peck, DeLoss Hall, and Septon Cady and a number of interested area residents, under the auspices of the Carter County Geological Society. Carter County Museum holds the distinct honor of being the first chartered county owned museum founded within the State of Montana.... more....
In 1976, the Carter County Geological Society decided to compile a family history book detailing many of the adventures of the original settlers and current residents of the area. By the time they began to put all the submissions they had received together they found that they needed to divide the work into two volumes. Thus Volumes I & II of Shifting Scenes became a reality. The books soon became such a "must have" for anyone interested in their family history that it was soon followed by a Volume III. Today, although Volumes I & II are currently out of print a few copies of Volume III remain available through the Museum. Because of the continued interest in the Shifting Scenes series, a year ago it was decided that perhaps it was time for an additional volume of Shifting Scenes to be added. Since then many members of CCGS has been working interviewing, compiling, typing and correlating the many family histories submitted. Today all their efforts have finally reached completion, a Pre-Publication Sale has begun and Shifting Scenes Volume IV is scheduled for distribution during the "Days of "85", August 13,14, & 15, 2010. Pre-publication sale ends July 15. For further information concerning Pre-Publication Sales Price you may e-mail either the History Book Committee at e-mail: historybk@midrivers.com or the Carter County Museum at e-mail: ccmuseum@midrivers.com .

2002 began an exciting
time in the life of Carter County Museum as we embarked upon the process of purchasing
additional property adjacent to the current museum building for the purpose
of expanding. The new 80' x 80'addition will house both the Paleontology
and Native America Departments. The additional space will allow for an
expansion of exhibits in both departments as well as a small working lab for
use by visiting research teams working in our area during the summer.
Although revitalization work continues on the exterior of the old one-room school house the interior work nears completion and plans call for a brief opening during this years celebration of the 125th Anniversary of the founding of Ekalaka August 13,14 & 15, 2010.
