Featured Project

The Lewis & Clark Heritage Trail Foundation I Great Falls

Your support is transforming Montana's history into an inclusive experience for all. The Lewis and Clark Heritage Trail Foundation, with your generous contributions, are introducing innovative interpretive signage along their new walking trail in Great Falls. These installations incorporate visuals, 3D elements, QR codes for audio translations, Blackfeet language interpretations, and insights into traditional plant uses. Your continued support allows history to be accessible to people of all ages, abilities, and cultures. Join us in preserving and sharing this rich heritage by donating today and thank you to everyone who already donated. Together, we can preserve Montana’s history for generations to come.
