The Montana House and the Glacier National Park Conservancy are pleased to co-host a Look Listen and Learn presentation by Deirdre Shaw, Museum Curator for Glacier National Park. The event will be at 4pm Saturday afternoon, April 27th at the Montana House in Apgar Village.
Deirdre will relate engaging stories—some humorous—of several of Glacier’s female residents and visitors that have taken on the challenges presented by the park’s weather, topography and isolation.
Deirdre is a Montana native (Deer Lodge) and has managed the museum collection at Glacier National Park since 1990. She has also worked at Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site and Death Valley National Park.
The presentation at the Montana House will begin at 4 p.m. with time for questions and a reception to follow. The event is open to the public without charge, but seating is limited, so reservations are needed. Please call 406-888-5393 or email: 1960mthouse@qwestoffice.net for additional information and to reserve your seats.
