State History enthusiasts are invited to gather on Sept. 28-30 for the 50th annual Montana History Conference at the Delta Colonial Hotel in Helena – the same location they convened for the first time in 1974. With this year’s “Building on the Past” theme, we’ll bridge the past, present, and future through lectures, panel and roundtable discussions, tours, and workshops on a wide array of fascinating topics. Our keynote speaker is Pulitzer-Prize-winning historian Elizabeth Fenn, who will discuss Indigenous warfare, hunting techniques, environmental conditions, horse-borne interactions, and Plains power dynamics through the story of a one-month period of Sacagawea’s life.
